>>Soda's toll on our health care system is enormous. Soda and other high-sugar food products have contributed to an epidemic of Type 2 diabetes and other ailments in this country.
>>
>>The health care costs of the uninsured related to these high-sugar foods are paid by the insured through high premiums. Every time uninsured John gulps that 64-ounce Coke he's taking a nickel out of my pocket and yours.
>>
>>We have two options:
>>1. Incentivize healthy consumption and discourage unhealthy consumption (make healthy food cheaper than unhealthy food via taxes and/or subsidies)
>>2. Let uninsured people die
>>
>>Banning a size of container is neither solution 1 or 2 and is political stupidity at its finest.

>I'm interested in what the next steps will be.

>1. Ban Refills.
>2. Ban anyone from buying more than one drink at time.
>3. Ban anyone from buying a second drink after finishing the first.
>4. Ban supermarkets from selling cases of pop. One can per customer limit.
