> Your argument would be more convincing if sugar tax had not already been successfully implemented in my country. What's your definition of success? I never argued a sugar tax could not reduce consumption of sugar if that is what it is. Just like an obesity tax could incentivize people to lose weight. > We have an obesity problem, Did your sugar tax fix the obesity problem? > not a skiing problem. Skiing is a statistically dangerous recreation and causes costly injury and death, healthcare system would be better off without it, so why not strive to also eliminate it? I didn't say it's the same magnitude as obesity but multiple problems can be addressed at once. > And a lot of people were unknowingly intaking hundreds of empty calories from soda for basically no reason. You must tell me what country this is which does not have the most basic food labeling standards yet has made significant progress in their obesity problem!
