I would support the claim that is saying we should put tax on soda. I would support this claim because soda is badly affecting people’s health. Children are recommended to consume less than six teaspoons of sugar a day, but a can of soda has more than six teaspoons. “The American Association recommends children consume less than six teaspoons of added sugar a day. A 12-ounce can of regular coca-cola contains nearly 10 teaspoons of sugar and 140 calories.” I know that my cousin loves coca-cola, and he drinks like three a day, so the sugar would be 3 times greater than what children are recommended. I know that a lot of people drink more than one can of pop a day, and it is bad for their health. People all over the world are having health problems, and are getting diseases like diabetes, obesity, and some are having tooth decay. “Howard, who is African-American, said her mother was diagnosed with diabetes but couldn't give up drinking several cans of cola a day. She said her baby sister and brother-in-law are diabetic but still drink soda, even though her brother-in-law lost a toe because of his diabetes.”
I think the people that say we should not tax soda are wrong because then people all over the world would still buy the same amount of sugary drinks which is bad because that is affecting their health. Also if we put tax on soda then a great amount of citizens will stop buying it, and that will decrease the amount of people that are obese and have diabetes. When we buy things that have tax the tax money goes to the state and the state can use that money for the community.
We need to put tax on soda because it is causing health problems like obesity and diabetes. People will buy less sugary drinks if we put tax on them, so we could decrease the amount of health hazards.
