NY trying to pass a soda tax.

[Chris8492]

WTF....

what do they think kids chug it by every two liter bottle??
Come on! They obviously eat all kinds of other s*** that makes them fat.

Btw, obese kids are predicted to have a lower life expectancy than their parents. Thats scary. They will die before their parents do. Wtf is happening.

But milk also gives you ACNE D:

Seriously, it does. I only have milk in cereal, drinking a glass of milk seems weird to me...

They have medicine and stuff for that now. Pretty much everything gives you acne nowadays anyway. Acne is the new cancer.

Oh, and apparently its only skim milk, which doesn't even count as milk.

I don't think the tax is a bad thing.

I do.  This tax is being thrown in with a myriad of other taxes all to avoid raising income and/or property taxes.  And why target soda only?  How about beer?  Too much of that isn't healthy for you.  Or what about lattes?  Or the juices that are all sugary?

This tax is an asinine one with no actually legitimate reason to exist outside of trying to get more money from me through yet another tax.


And, your diet has very little affect on acne.  It's primarily hormonal.

I drink a ton a of soda all the time and it doesn't make me fat.

Chocolate milk :(

Well, I won't argue with that. But milk is a big cause, every dermatologist i've been to asked to make sure I didn't drink a lot of milk. Skim milk is somewhat wose, but it's whole milk too.

Anyway, I don't get the big deal of just eating healthier, it's not like you have to become a vegetarian or anything, eat what you want, just have some self control. Portion control is key, and just go for a little 30 minute walk every day, or even just 3 days a week make a big difference. It seems like all of you think drinking 3 sodas a day and eating cheeseburgers is perfectly fine, but i'm sure half of you can't say you are super healthy and in your proper weight zone.

Which is why you should do everything in moderation.  Should.  Do any of us do that?  I doubt we do it the way the health experts want us to.

The intercourse ?

Everyone in this thread has basically said it's a matter of moderation when consuming soda and other poop.  Stop generalizing.  And stop making up bullpoop and read the bloody thread.

Cheeseburgers are delicious. All of the Olympic athletes love cheeseburgers. I don't know about sodas though.

[Lotos]

The intercourse ?

Wasn't he anorexic or something?

[Lohn Jocke]

If more people drank milk there would be world peace.

Sigquoted for truth

Also, I should point out that I am one of these obese people, yet I intercourse ing HATE pop.

[Kilroy]

They've been trying to do this for ages, I doubt it'll pass.

If it does, hey, not my problem, I can't have caffeine anymore :3

[Kayo]

I've never seen most of this.
They encourage a little bit of everything, not small meals and veggie-spam.

Also, I probably drink 2-3 cans of Coke a day, so good thing I don't live in NY if this gets passed.
Though I heard about this months ago, so.

you should drink more. how do you do that and stay at 110 pou-- OH WAIT. AMERICA! HERES YOUR COUNTEREXAMPLE. DOODLE DRINKS LOTS OF SODA, AND HAVE YOU SEEN THIS KID?

yeah
