Shouldn't the same tax be rendered on fruit juices, like orange juice, apple juice, etc? They contain about the same amount of sugars.
Don't forget ketchup and BBQ sauce. High fructose corn syrup is in all kinds of foods not just soft drinks. These politicians aren't dumb to that fact when it comes to taking more of our money. To think you can just avoid it by not buying soft drinks is dumb. It's a pretty slick grocery tax.

Let this sink in. Colorado demonizes soft drinks, but the idiots here will crush mountains of craft beer on a regular basis.

Perhaps. We were there on a college tour. We stayed in the middle of Boulder all weekend. The wife and I were ready to go by Sunday. If there were some nice, unpretentious people in Boulder, we missed em. The only nice people we encountered was the staff at our hotel (Basecamp Boulder) and the waitstaff at Flagstaff.

$22.2 million of more government wasteful spending...

That explains a lot. If you visit back on campus during semester it would probably drive you bananas. We get a lot of short term transplants that believe they can make a living in the area working part time at coffee shops and yoga studios.
Also lots of "boulderites" that I aliken to the over the mountain crowd in the Birmingham area.
But anyhow, next time you're up here give me a shout and I'll direct you away from the shitshow

I'm do confused.
If you decrease the obesity and diabetes rates (mind you these are ridiculous projections) then by definition you have SIGNIFICANTLY reduced soda intake. Therefore you ideally generate next to zero revenue. They can only sell this one of two ways- increases revenue or decreases poor health outcomes. You can't have both

One of my brothers just got in to the luxury real estate industry in western CO (particularly Telluride and Montrose) and, holy balls, talk about exorbitant wealth. I'm getting to stay in a $24MM mansion for a festival in September if the place doesn't get sold.

Take over healthcare and you can control the populace. Enact laws and rules 'in the name of public health'. It's exactly what the nazis did and all good socialist/communist regimes do.

Hum ... do these "sugar taxes" apply to EBT purchases?
If they do, then they're adding tax to the group that can least afford it, the poor.
If they don't, then they'll be incentivizing unhealthy practices of the poor.
Why do liberals hate the poor?

There were signs all over Boulder about their new tax. Sugar is the new sin tax I guess?
I lived there during the election. People were going door to door against it. They were angry because the tax would also apply to kombucha. Apparently the sugar threshold was pretty low, so it would apply to a lot more then soda. There were a few angry hippies.

Boulder is a fun town if you can avoid some of the psycho progressives. The flat irons are fun, for me at least
It's a great town. But after living there 1.5 years, even as a liberal, I found a lot of their shite nauseating.
And way too PC.
I lived in New Orleans for 5 years, and used to drum for Mardi Gras Indians. I had a lot of black friends there. But Boulder was the only place I was lectured about saying black instead of African American. If I were to refer to my black friends in Nola as African Americans, they'd have laughed and mocked me. Yet a rich, spoiled snow flake from Colorado wanted to lecture me about race relations, when she could probably count the number of black guys she's had a conversation with.
There's plenty of ignorance all across the country, regardless of how well intentioned some may be.

I am morbidly obese and haven't had a soda or calories from my drink in 3 years.
Point being you still have to make other good or bad choices if you want to drop obesity

Government will tax sugar for all essentially telling us what not to eat but won't regulate the products SNAP recipients can buy. Makes sense.
Also at the bottom the data comes from a computer model. LOL.
