The argument against this tax seems to always be made by righties who claim they don't personally consume a lot of sugar
No it doesn't. It comes from all sides. Doesn't matter what political stripe you are, if you claim you don't consume a lot of sugar
you're full of shit.
Been actively trying to reduce sugar intake for a year, yeah... lots of fun! It's in everything.
Reminds me of cooking with Lydia and her "just a little more salt" as the dumptruck backs up to the spaghetti pot....
Hows about just some honest labeling - there's so many grams of sugar in this bottle. (not per 3 ml suggested serving)
And you don't need the gov't ordering shit. Look what they did with the big snafu on pop ayear or so ago... the companies now make a smaller bottle and didn't reduce the price. Wow! Such social conciousness among capitalists, some even bragged about it.
