Reply to comment by Sgt_Beefy in Massachusetts should have a Tax Sugary Drinks. This would discourage consumers from buying products that may lead to chronic illness, and high long term costs to the health system. by [deleted]

Sugary drink tax

>A sugary drink tax, soda tax, or sweetened beverage tax (SBT) is a tax or surcharge (food-related fiscal policy) designed to reduce consumption of sweetened beverages. Drinks covered under a soda tax often include carbonated soft drinks, sports drinks and energy drinks. This policy intervention is an effort to decrease obesity and the health impacts related to being overweight, however the medical evidence supporting the benefits of a sugar tax on health is of very low certainty. The tax is a matter of public debate in many countries and beverage producers like Coca-Cola often oppose it.
