I'm not necessarily against sugary drink taxes, my main question is will the tax do what is expected? Without actually seeing the paper (which there isn't a link thus far), I really don't know. What would make sense to me is taxing packaged foods that add sugar/HFCS to make it cheaper. The food that does not add sugar tends to be more expensive, for the reason that the sugar can mask issues with using lower quality ingredients. What irritates me is that without carefully examining each and very package, it is easy to get said foods too.
