Posted by Brett Kincaid on July 29, 2009
Here we go again. This report from CBS News details a proposal out of Washington that Congress is yet again considering a tax on sugar-sweetened drinks. The thought is, fat people should pay for health care. The problem for that crowd is that the facts don’t jive.
According to the AP, Health Affairs identified obesity rates as up 37 percent since 1998. Soft drink sales are down 9 perce
nt during that same period, according to Beverage Digest.
Who the hell is doing the math at CDC?
