sugar tax

[Anonymous No.10725905]

My country introduced a sugar tax that made soft drink and fruit "juice drink" manufacturers alter their recipes, replacing sugar with aspartame and other sweeteners. Soft drinks and berry juice drinks were a large part of my diet and I don't like that that changed.
Apple juice is unaffected by the sugar tax because it's from concentrate (no added sugars).Apple flavor just isn't my kick. Are there any other drinks naturally high in sugar? As I implied earlier, there's no such thing as berry juice, only "berry juice drink" which is sweeted.
>inb4 orange juice
that's not sweet, it's bitter. Do you think it's possible to make orange juice taste less bitter by adding some kind of acidity regulator?

just carry around a bag of sugar with you and add it to your drinks fatty

[Anonymous No.10726039]

I wish the US would do this but unfortunately we're under authoritarianism by the wealthy. Added sugar, salt and fat need to be taxed.

It would be great to be able to buy canned beans without them being loaded with salt.

Why not just charge a Fat tax for being over a certain weight?

[Anonymous No.10726111]

>implying that healthcare costs will be that high that everyone is affected by people drinking a soda
>implying that the tax will actually make someone consume less sugar
All vice taxes do is make people poorer, not healthier. High sales tax imposed on cigarettes won't make someone smoke less, it'll make smokers poor. If you want people to consume less sugar, tobacco, etc, you have to educate them that what they're putting in their body is potentially harmful, if they choose to still consume whatever chemical, that's their business and doesn't have any effect on anyone else

>but muh healthcare costs
Again, it won't effect anyone in any real way.

You know I kind of like this idea.
It's very much oppressive to charge a suger tax but a fat tax to alieviate healthcare costs couldn't hurt. Although it may be hard to enforce

[Anonymous No.10726130]

>>10726083
That's unironically classist, given that lower income people tend to be obese. You would be essentially taxing someone for being poor

[Anonymous No.10726139]

>>10725972
what do you think I've been doing? The recipes have been changed for a month now. It sucks and I don't like it.
>>10726025
But all I can sweeten with sugar is water or milk.
>>10726039
How is salt bad for you?
You don't want a sugar tax, they just put even more harmful artificial sweeteners in your drinks. Unless you're legit a diabetes risk or overweight, sucrose is the healtiest sweetener.

why do you think you need soft drinks or confectioneries to be fat? Most adults don't openly eat those, it's only fringe people who enjoy sweets. Majority of fatties buy chocolate, cakes, pies, biscuits, or nothing sweet at all.

Being poor might not be a choice but no matter how poor you are being fat is. If they don't like it they can eat healthier.

One where the steady right wing trend of Liberterianism and spoiled daddies boys try to rule the economy, reducing tax income, and then having no idea on how to balance the budget once they do.
(bonus: This is a trend on all parties including the hardcore communists, so each 8 years things basically get worse because there is no counter pendulum swing)

When the choice is between doing the vice and eating it does. Usually.

Being poor at least in the US is 95% choice. Any bumshit can go be a completely unskilled wagecuck and hustle for 50-60 hrs and make a respectable living

This person has never been, nor has ever known anyone who was actually "poor".
Must be great to live in such an insulated little bubble like that.
>50-60 hrs

lol
This person has never been in such a position, and so has no idea just how utterly soul destroyingly shite it is. And how even after doing all that, you STILL aren't guaranteed to be any better off.

>yeah so, we are going to tax your food because we don't feel like paying for any things you might develop if you eat that because it's everyones money! even though we force you to also pay healthcare tax so it's your money too and you should be able to enjoy healthcare no matter what you consume since you are paying it, but... uh...
>basically we force you to pay for a service, but then we restrict your use of said service because OMG ITS EVRYONS MONEY!1

It makes people rethink their purchases from a financial veiwpoint rather than taking it as a entitlement because its so cheap.

It costs three times more for a hospital to take care of a fat person rather than a normal person. As much as I love to advocate for individual freedoms, my hatred for fat fucks ruining entire countries with their ineptitude and laziness eclipses it.

The optimal citizen slave obeys orders, does not question propaganda, is gainfully employed and pays it's taxes and remains healthy until it can no longer contribute where then it should just gracefully die before it can take anything back from the taxes it's spent it's life toiling away to pay.
