Is Taxing pop really a solution?

I believe that this scare campaign is very effective, it enter twines with the last post as many people are really conscious about their physique and how thin they are because of the media bombarding them with perfect bodied women. I can't say that i have never drank pop or never ate chips in my life, I have, but I would always put it to a minimum and only drink pop in special occasions such as; parties. My mom always told me that drinking pop is very bad and contains high amounts of sugar, its very true. I do crave pop at times, but I would try and substitute that craving with something healthier such as; orange juice or water. Our body needs about eight glasses of water everyday, and substituting that with a bunch of chemicals is just terrible. Canada is ranked 11 in the most obese country in the world, with US being number one. Almost 15% of all Canadians are obese, that's pretty mind boggling, out of the 33 million people we have.

The video that came with the blog is extremely disgusting, and completely changed my thoughts on pop. I knew pop was filled with sugar and chemicals, but with fat? That guy who was drinking the fat almost made me puke. Of course this would also turn off everyone who sees it helping the campaign lead on to success. I will try my hardest to stay away from that, and stick to juice and water from now on even on special occasions, that video just disgusted me. If a new tax were to take effect in America of course it would take effect in Canada, this is because US is very influencable to Canada and we are very close to one another. It's actually a very good thing that this tax will come and take effect, this can change the lives of many people, discouraging them from buying this chemical brew. Hopefully and if this tax comes to a fruition I would never buy pop, but I would probably buy chips, rarely. That ad just disgusted me and makes me never want to touch pop again, besides who would pay $2.00 just to buy a cup of chemicals.
