ìConsidering that thereís alternatives to sugar in drinks, we might as well tke advantage of them. If the money is going toward a good cause and kids are benefitting from this, I think itís a good idea.”

ìI donít have a problem with the tax, but I think the larger problem is the inactivity of Americans. The real fix is more exercise and eating smarter and healthier and considering portion control.”

ìOn one hand, itís a good idea because it would reduce the likelihood of parents buying sugary drinks for their children. But it might be a bad thing too. Since healthy foods are already expensive, if this sort of food is expensive too, disadvantaged people wonít really have an option.”
