I've seen the news and have read a few comments and people are divided. I'm not against taxing what is not healthy but if this is the case, then let's be fair. If they tax these soft drinks that are not healthy then I expect those taxes to be used for something that really benefits people. Also I would expect a strict revision on all those products that are containing a lot of added crap, not just sugar. I did a post three months ago about fruit jams sold in the US, that contain 1/3 fruit and 2/3 sugar. How is that fair? How is that different from soft drinks?

i never knew that about jams.... i have to say it doesn't surprise me though.
It is sad though as half of the people don't know because they don't read food labels and the other half don't care because sugar is addictive.
