It isn't right to tax #obesity by putting a tax on soda. If someone wants to be a fat and unhealthy, than that is their right. They will deal with health consequences their whole life, and die young. #SadTruth

While I respect individual freedom, it is important to consider the broader impact of obesity on society and public health. Implementing a tax on soda aims to discourage excessive consumption and promote healthier choices. By addressing the root causes of obesity, we can lessen the burden on healthcare systems and potentially improve overall wellbeing. However, it must be done responsibly, ensuring that it does not disproportionately affect lower-income individuals or unfairly target specific groups.
