I consider that soda is really a bad becoverage while my brother always drinks it without eating lunch or dinner. Soda seems like tabacco, it makes our human cannot stop drinking it. Since the tabacco had increased the tax, meanwhile, soda should increase the tax also. Soda has too much sugar on it, which makes children or adult obesity more harmful. In addition, it may cause a lot of health problems. For instance, soda will raise the median weight which will hurt our body harmfully. Moreover, it will increased the risk of diabetes. After children drank it, their body would get hurt from it. While I realize that the childhood growing is really important, I may support the children to drink that rarely. Increasing the soda tax, it seems to be a good way to protect the children's health, and prevents people who drink it frequently from getting many kinds of diseases. After the soda's price had increased, I think that people may not buy it that often.
On the other hand, people say that increasing the soda tax will be a bad thing for the poor people, but in my view, it becomes a good thing. Poor people have to pay more attention to their bodies than the rich people, because they have no money to pay their medical bills. Drinking too much soda causes a lot of disease, which make their bodies meet the doctor frequently, in other words, it also is a bad thing to poor people.
In short, taking good care of people's body is a hard thing. Government try to make a good way to keep our bodies be healthy. Increasing the soda tax is a step to achieve this goal. I believe that it is a good decision to all human beings.
I agree your opinion. soda and tabacco are equal harmfully. It causes much health problem for people, such as obesity, diabetes. Adding soda tax is a good way to let people reduce drinking soda times.
ReplyDeleteDo you think adding soda tax will be effectively in children obesity?
This comment is OK. I didn't see where you said what you liked about the writer's post, though.
DeleteNo matter who, increasing soda tax is a good step to protect people's health. Health is important to each one. However, many people didn't realize it, and they are easily ignore their bodies' health. I like you said that soda tax likes tobacco. They all let people wallow. It is very terrible. Hence, people should learn how to control themselves at any condition.
ReplyDeleteYou should also ask the writer a question in your comment.
Deleteyes, i agreed with you , theydo not have to pun focus on rich people,the government should help to people prevent this kind of problem and stop it.
ReplyDeleteYou should also tell the writer what you liked about their writing, and ask a question.
DeleteI think you have raised some good points. It's true that drinking soda is not healthy - and perhaps poor people drink it more because it is fairly cheap - even cheaper than healthier bottled water or getting hot tea, most of the time (without the extra tax). I agree - the extra tax may deter them from drinking it, which will ultimately be better for their health.
ReplyDeleteCan you think of anything else (food/beverage) that you think should be taxed?
