Problem: Read the article Taxes on sugary drinks: Why do it? By the World Health Organization and the Washington Post article about the Philadelphia sugar tax that are posted under the Week 6 tab. After reading these articles, would you support a tax on beverages with added sugar- why or why not? How about a "junk food" tax- what criteria or certain foods would you include? Does the public have the right to legislate actions that could reduce the financial burden of the obesity epidemic? We have laws restricting and taxing sales of alcohol and tobacco. Some people argue this takes away our personal choice freedom, but others argue that they help people make choices that improve the health of our children and future generations. Do you think that these taxes would help with the obesity problem or not? Do you have any other ideas to help fight the obesity epidemic in the United States?
