Fizzy drinks

Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco wants large grocery stores to pay a tax for selling sodas. This inspires mixed emotions for me. I like the idea of the government using tax to make people better, but aren't there more pressing issues? I've been known to polish of a liter of RC Cola per day, and I'm hecka healthy. It is good that he only wants to tax big stores, though. That way the little guy can compete against the Wal-Marts and what not.

Still, why not start by taxing meringues? I hate meringues.
