Lmao dude sugar is bad for ya...

>Lmao dude sugar is bad for ya, instead of drinking a unhealthy soda you should be smoking more weed and watching rick morty on Netflix haha

for me sugar is a legal anti depressant

Added/refined sugar *is* bad, though. But it's fucking stupid that people voted in legislation to hinder peoples' abilities to make informed decisions on whether or not they should consume poisons.

Imagine how cucked you have to be, to think these sorts of taxes are acceptable.

How far up your ass do you have to be to set a 40% tax on "unhealthy" food? Where will it end?

Part and parcel of living with liberals. Maybe they figure fewer nog on the govbent dole wont get the beattis

>Informed decisions
I think most people aren't really able to conquer their primal desires.
I wouldn't want retarded taxation like this either, but you have to help people realize that they have unhealthy habits, so that they can actually make an informed decision.

>40%
Sorry I'm drunk, it's ~65%

>recovery fee

It's really bad if you also consider the fact that the mega corporations can use the FDA to 'decide' (within some reason) that certain things are "unhealthy".

Right, so instead of letting Natural Selection do its work we should use Government taxation as a education system to teach retards what is healthy or not.

I already said that I don't agree with this taxation. I think you should talk about nutrition in school, preferably in biology classes, so that people realize that a "diet" isn't something you do once every 6 month. Just think about all the dietary fads that people fall for, because they lack basic knowledge.

Stop drinking the sugary jew you retard

>mfw Americlaps tip $10 for sugar in their drinks

I need the gubmint to make every change in my life for me that i want to change hurr
>Authoritarians

Starbucks' started in seattle. Why not tax the coffee drinks that have double the sugar and triple the calories?

Sugar is no different than heroine tbhqhfam

>I wrote: I wouldn't want retarded taxation like this either
think taxes should not be used to steer people in a certain direction, work on your reading comprehension. I think that even cigarettes shouldn't be as expensive, if you want less smokers (or fat people or whatever) you should use the educational resources you have, like a public school.

>be liberal
>dont drink soda cuz its bad for you
>spend 5$ a day on sugar coffee at jewbucks
>vote to tax coca cola so nogs can get more gibs

I bet they get to evade the tax, because it's such a cash... cow... for Washington/Seattle.

Not in favor of pop taxes but I know people that drink a 12 pack of Mt. Dew a day. Fucking awful. I don't understand how they can enjoy that more than water, juice, or milk.

sugar legit puts white dents in your brain

There's a lot of sugar in it, yeah, but let's not pretend that it's as bad as drinking borderline battery acid like Coke.

I used to work at the Sonic, a fast food establishment. You don't know the true extent of the fat ass epidemic until you've heard someone order a 44 oz drink of GRAVY.

Holy fuck you are retarded, they are both terrible. Why dont you start arguing why you having aids is better than your dad having ass cancer ffs.

I know a decent enough chap who drinks 12 cans of Red Bull a day. Nothing else, not tea even, not juice not water, just Red Bull. He actually went into witthdrawl during a bout of pneumonia, full on addict cold turkey. His wife has tried to wean him off it, or even just substitute a less expensive energy drink, to no avail. He passes every blindfold test, including ones that cunningly didn't include red bull in the line up to try and trick him. A sugar tax would probably kill him.

Yup as an Amerimutt I can confirm I have literally seen people drink fucking gravy as if it were soda. That is so incredibly bad for you.

Rick and Morty is on Hulu, not Netflix

You're population is >le 56% meme. It's safe to assume that subhumans in cities don't have the ability to make informed decisions

Costco is telling you where to buy it without the tax

There is literally nothing wrong with smoking weed and watching Rick and Morty.

>12 red bull cans: $30/day
>12 red bull cans w/ sodatax: $32/day

>watching tv shows on your phone

Leftists only care about people's health when they can make money to fund gibsmedat programs.

What the Hell? We used to have a thing called Bovril over here, basically a beef gravy instant hot drink that poor people drank who couldn't afford meat every day, but that was like, one mug's worth and was so vile you couldn't drink more. It's gone the way of rickets and polio now, confined to the past as the second people didn't have to drink it ever again nobody did.

Reminder that you have to be 18 or older to post on this board. You are clearly underaged

People here literally vote for whatever the party tells em. Good little communists here.

Hah, check this flag m8. This is a socialist nightmare, when Westminster taxes something it bleeds you dry progressively. Once on the books, it never ever comes off, even so-called "temporary" taxation like tobacco. It magically gets renewed every State Opening of Parliament, and then always goes up come budget day.
>cigs cost £3 a packet in 1995
>same cigs cost £9 a packet in 2015
>actual price of cig packet ~£1.20

When will you cucks wake up?

First they came for cigarettes and taxed them to high heavens. You and I didn't care because we didn't smoke and it's "bad" for you anyways. Now they go after sweetened drinks, which most of us consume other than the healthnut who will say the same thing, they don't drink it anyways and it's deemed "bad" for you.

How long before they come after your chicken breasts, eggs and whey protein because it's toxic masculinity and the soy boys would love for you to be forced to go vegan or some shit? How long before they TAX ALL FOODS to high heavens?

We all can sit back and laugh, haha good thing I'm not in JEW YORK with their limits on how many ounces of this and that drink. Haha, thank goodness I'm not in seattle with their shitty beverage tax. Haha, I'm not in california with all their bullshit laws. Don't you understand? They will come for everything you love too. It's overreaching government and them taking away freedoms. How long until all conservatives/libertarians all have to move to one or two states to be free, then we will have the laws forced down our throats by a liberal president and that federal government that will easily win because we've moved to 1-2 states and every other state is liberal?

Yes yes this tax exists because the government cares about is and not because a far left city desperately needs to find new avenues of taxation.

>democrats are all about helping poor people
>poor people are the primary consumer of processed food and sugary drinks
>democrats put an almost 60% tax on sugary drinks
>poor people will now have to endure a 60% tax because they still want to drink their sugary drinks
>democrats think sin taxes are actually helping

Its funny to see how little the democrats know about the people they want to help.

Nothing wrong with drinking a little battery acid.

And they exempt the sugar drinks rich white people drink like lattes

>>democrats are all about helping poor people
It doesn't get any more american than this.
