Fat tax on Soda
One of every five calories in the American diet is liquid. The nation’s single biggest "food" is soda, and nutrition experts have long demonized it.In reports to be published in science journals this week, two groups of researchers hope to add evidence to the theory that soda and other sugar-sweetened drinks don’t just go hand-in-hand with obesity, but actually cause it. Not that these drinks are the only cause — genetics, exercise and other factors are involved — but that they are one cause, perhaps the leading cause.

Even when I was a big soda drinker, up to 3 Cokes a day, I was never a fan of the diet stuff, it seemed to lack the kick. I don't see how they can pull off taxing soda though.
