Soda or Pop (depending where you're from)

The average American drinks more than 48 gallons of soda a year. To reduce our consumption, a group of doctors, scientists, and lawmakers have proposed adding a "fat tax" on cola and other high-calorie beverages, such as energy drinks and sport drinks, and well as on candy. A poll was taken and they asked people, "If you had to pay extra for soda and candy, would you think twice before making a purchase?" Seventy-eight percent said Yes. What about you??

Thanks to Crystal Light I'm drinking a lot more water but I wouldn't like the tax on the sports drinks especially since I drink those before and after I go for a run!

Boo to taxing the sports drinks!
