It pisses me off to see the gubmint being so generous to this corporate system that mass-produces obesity.
Problem with similar bills in other states is that they're trying to make it about all "luxury foods", like steak and seafood, rather than just soda and candy. Other states have withdrawn the bill for various reasons... lack of permission from the USDA being one of them. I think maybe they're in bed with the sugar dealers

Not to appear pedantic, but it's the corn dealers technically. Somebody that would lobby for soda/candy would be against sugar, you fucker. :D
