A tax on sugar-sweetened beverages and juices is being discussed as a possible way to generate more money to pay for the healthcare reform package. This type of tax will have a negative impact on Nevada restaurants and may also hurt the families who frequent them. In addition, nationwide, the beverage industry provides over 220,000 jobs with health benefits.
It is suggested that the tax on sugar-sweetened beverages will address the problem of obesity. Obesity is a complex issue with many contributors, and singling out one product will not solve this complex problem. There is nothing unique about the calories in a soft drink that cause obesity. Obesity rates are rising while soft drink sales are declining. A more successful approach may be to promote education and diversity of choices. Offerings of no and lo-calorie beverages has reduced average calories per ounce. Education about healthy choices in schools resulted in a 65% reduction of sugared beverage consumption.

Just another example of the nanny state mentality. People are certainly unable to think for themselves and make decisions as to what is and is not good for them.
