Comment sucked up by the voids of cyberspace :( So again:
HFC? What is that? Please keep in mind that a lot of people are living on the other side of an ocean in another language and cannot understand your shorts.
What free market?
Soda is one of the most heavily subsidized industries in The US.
Taxes and subsidies are in effect the same - just on opposing sides.
So if you are against taxes, you are also for subsidies, or at least not decreasing them.
But that would also mean you are for giving big companies taxpayer money to make those tax payers more miserable (and health care more expensive).
Since I don't think you are, the only solution halfway inline with your wants seems to be to want subsidies at zero, but I cant find that anywhere.
HFC - High fructose corn syrup.
It is made from corn through a very intense process.
It is very expensive compared to sugar (if you buy it outside The US, like in Mexico) but it is subsidized by The US govern-cement.
And so, this very unhealthy substance is in almost all soda in america.
I am against taxes and against subsidies.
