California To Go Broke Under Avalanche of Sacerin Laws

SF Considers a Tax on Sugary Drinks

For years, the idea of taxing soda to beat back obesity has been tossed around in medical circles. But now, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is proposing a tax on beverages high in fructose corn syrup.

Hasn't Newsom gotten in some trouble for a little too much sweetness himself? They say sugar problems can affect family and friends the most. Sweetness as law affects people to the point of making them sick.

Of course this is all fine and good now that Gavin has given up beverages if you know what I mean.
