Sugary drinks can affect everyone in the world. Specifically in the United States, the government is trying to implement a tax on sugary drinks. Although the tax would be unnecessary and unethical, if there is going to be an unnecessary tax on sugary drinks then the revenue from the taxation should be used for rehabilitation and education to stop and prevent obesity and diabetes. Taxation would only be decent if the money was budgeted for the good and overall well being of people who are obese…
Miguel's Response "Taxing with a purpose can make all the difference in how society thinks about whether giving tax makes for good policy" (10). According to, "What the Soda Tax Means for Consumers," by Brian Gale, he argues that taxing without knowing why, can make society think it is a wrong idea, but while knowing why taxing is beneficial, would make society think it is a good thing.

With zero calories and zero grams of sugar, diet soda advertisers have the easy job of marketing their product directly at people who desire being skinny. Even though diet sodas appear as the best alternative to drinking regular sodas loaded with sugar and calories, the artificial sugars within diet sodas have been linked to negative health effects and even weight gain. So before immediately associating a soda coined…
concluded to be the worst soda for teeth, but the chalk didn’t change enough for the experiment to be a sound source of proof. When you take a sip of soda, the sugar and acid attack your teeth for twenty minutes, starting over with each sip (“WDA”). Soft drinks have a very destructive effect on teeth. They have emerged as one of the most significant sources of tooth decay (“Colgate”). The sugar and acids soften the tooth enamel and, if not fixed, can eventually lead to tooth loss. An example of…
Discussion: In this section the results of the degree of water hardness of the water samples of this group using the two primary methods EDTA and AA will be discussed and analyzed in terms of which sample is exhibiting a high degree of hardness and which sample is considered to have a small water hardness value compared to other samples, and test the hypothesis and prediction of the water samples being tested. According to the results obtained and calculated the water sample that has a high…
Changing the type of liquid from water to soda appears to crush the soda can a bit more. When we added water to the soda can the average percentage of the can crushed in milliliters after being flipped onto the pie tin was 40%. But when we added soda to the can instead of water the average percentage of the can crushed was 45%. That is 5% of the soda can being crushed more when soda was in the can. Our evidence was strong because when we were doing our experiment, we made sure that the can…
In the article “Soft Drink Industry Fights Proposed Food Stamp Ban,” written by Robert Pear, he emphasizes that banning food stamps to buy sugared-sweetened beverages is unfair because not everybody receives the food stamp to buy such drinks, and the people get received…
