Soda is JUNK food. Taxing it is not the same as Taxing cigarettes, which are literally toxic and chemichaly adictive. It is pure human decision which leads to soda- induced illnesses. As in, you can quit anytime. No where does it say in the U.S. Constitution that the government should protect from dumb choices.

p.s. I do hate these commercials too, on the "Soda is Food" premise.

the other commercial where she won't let the kid rent a 99 cent movie, because she's gotta buy a 3 liter bottle of corn syrupy "soda"? FUCK HERrrr

Naturally, there's no suggestion from the soda companies that they could refrain from raising their own prices (or absorb the cost of the proposed tax) in order to help out their financially struggling customers.

The agribiz conglomerate sponsoring this atrocity would score points in this Canadian's eyes if the campaign were a bit more brazen; they should call it "Corporate Jerks Against Lower Profits."

I'll embrace socialism, or at least lefty liberalism, and say bring on the soda tax! These commercials just make me even MORE in favor of tax...that and the fact that the average school-aged child today consumes 1000 calories/day from soda, sweet tea, or Sunny D (which is NOT juice!).

You sound like a Socialist. To quote the commercial, "Taxes never made anyone healthy." Unless, of course, you count the millions of Americans who've given up smoking at least in part because cigarette taxes have made it such an expensive habit to maintain. But that's just more socialism talk.

I've commented twice on my own blog concerning the loathsome "Washington- Don't Tax My Family's Soda" commercials. This garbage is too much- what, if they can't cart along gallons of corn syrup, the family won't be able to go camping and fishing any more? Give me a freaking break. SODA IS NOT FOOD. Oh, and BREAKING STICKS ACROSS YOUR LEG DOESNT MAKE YOU A GREAT AMERICAN. Ugh.
