By collecting an excise tax of one penny ($0.01) per fluid ounce on specified beverages that have a high level of caloric sweeteners, such as sodas, energy drinks, sweet teas, and sports drinks distributed in California, SB 622 will generate funds to support the newly created Children’s Health Promotion Fund and finance programs statewide that will fight childhood obesity and prevention activities.” What’s next, Taco Bell, In ’n’ Out, Snickers bars, Chinese Fast Food or the chocolate dipped cone at Foster’s Freeze? Why can’t legislators and the public understand that government cannot and will never solve our problems. The more legislation we enact, the more bureaucracy we create, the more “helpless” our society becomes.
