Fat tax for soda companies?
According to a London Daily Mail report, some delegates at this week's American Medical Association annual conference will call for a "fat tax" on the soft drink industry.
The tax would be put on sweeteners added to sugary drinks to pay for a public health education campaign.
Delegates are particularly targeting high fructose corn syrup, which is added to lots of products, from ketchup to soda.
Kind of makes me glad I'm a Diet Dr. Pepper kind of girl. Just keep your hands off my Sweet 'n Low.
