			<description><![CDATA[The previous Governor of our state (Paterson) tried a couple of times to impose a tax on soda and other sugary drinks.  His belief was that he needed to recoup money spent on health care, partly as a result of these unhealthy choices.  Each time it met opposition and never made it through.  Bloomber...]]></description>

 How long until they make us weigh in to eat out? Or completely just don't let people who are overweight buy certain things? People are just going to buy a bigger quantity.

He went to the most overweight county in the country in West Virginia, a county that was labeled in the entire nation as being the most overweight.

			<description><![CDATA[i have to agree with KatLin, education is the answer. When I was fat, I would have gotten upset with anyone who tried to limit what I could buy.

 Education is also controlled by government.  Just asking a question here, not being a jerk, ,but should we have laws and money spent on education purposes and then not have laws that back up those theories?  Like with seatbelts, kids are required ...]]></description>

Or are food and gas prices going to go up now that drink prices are going down? It's really gonna effect everything in that area.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't think banning sugary soft drinks is going to stomp out obesity. It has to be looked at in many different ways. What's next banning foods with fat. Maybe we should all get cards that get punched every time we want to buy any type of food or drink.. The card gets swiped and you are told if you...]]></description>
