Massive 'sugar tax' considered for Chicago...
This will stop the black on black killings....LOL
CHICAGO (AP) €” The debate over whether sugary beverages should be heavily taxed is scheduled to be taken up by the Cook County Board of Commissioners in Chicago. Board President Toni Preckwinkle has proposed a tax designed to raise revenue, but it's being promoted as a way to reduce soda consumption and in turn improve public health. The proposed penny-an-ounce tax is facing stiff opposition from the beverage industry. The American Beverage Association has about $600,000 to oppose it, which is scheduled to be taken up Thursday by the county board. New York City Ex-Mayor Michael Bloomberg is spending $1 million in Cook County in support of the tax. Earlier this year, Philadelphia approved a sugary beverages tax. Voters in San Francisco, Oakland and Albany, California and Boulder, Colorado approved similar taxes Tuesday. |

You also should look at fruit juice if this all bothers you. 100% grape juice packs about 1.7 times the calorie count as a Coke. (160 cal for 8oz vs 150 for a 12oz coke) Maybe we should STFU about people drinking bottled water. ;-) |

Apparently the winds of change evidenced by the election on Tuesday is lost on some. |

I forsee people carrying around hip flasks of karo, and street dealers selling brown sugar in little baggies. This is just a tax on certain sugar drinks. I did not see grape juice on the list and it has almost twice as much sugar as a coke. Will they also tax sugar packs at a 7-11 |
