While I was reading news on abcnews.com this article on coca cola caught my attention. You can find the article here http://abcnews.go.com/Health/WellnessNews/coke-ceo-argues-merits-proposed-soda-tax/Story?id=8786606&page=1. The article talks about proposed soda taxes intended to help with America's problem with obesity and Coca-colas reaction on it. This article seemed bias against coca-cola and more for the proposed taxes on sugar sweetened beverages intended to help with obesity. Coca-cola argues in this article that they are not responsible for obesity problem but the peoples choices. However this article seemed to focus on countering coca-cola responses. I agree with Coca-cola however. I believe that proposing taxes on sugar beverages wont help obesity. People are the only ones that have control on their diet and decide what to eat. For example, too much pizza and fast food is unhealthy and taxing it all is not going stop obesity, its up to the people to decide on themselves to eat healthy and exercise.I found this article important because it serves as a reminder to us to stop blaming food or drinks for our weight and blame ourselves because we are the only to blame for the lifestyle we chose to live.
