Eng 103 Soda tax problem

Today I’m going to talk about the soda tax, and the reason people are buying it. Soda is one of the most popular drinks in the world, it sells the most in the united state, because is one the cheapest drinks in the united state.
I’m not agree with the soda tax the reason I’m not agree because the economy is to low that’s peoples cannot buy the pensive dink, if the soda prices are too low and anyone can buy it and also what we put into our mouth is not the government business. They spent all their time caring about cigars and soda and also the is some many drink, and food had more calories, and more sugar, I think the government should try makes the those food company’s put fewer chemicals in their food and put more fruits instead blame everything on soda. The reason in the united state right now have so many obesity is because the is so many young children just stay home eat whole day and play video game without exercise you will still become fat raise the soda tax it will not helping. Because I know so many drink and food out there had high fructose for example hamburger, ice cream, etc, contain little to no vitamins or other essential nutrients and also have long been suspected of leading to lower calcium levels and higher phosphate levels in the blood. When phosphate levels are high and calcium levels are low, calcium is pulled out of the bones, The phosphate content of soft drinks is very high, and they contain virtually no calcium a lot of research has found that consumption fast food restaurant in high quantity, especially by children, is responsible for many health problems that include heart disease, cancer, high level of cholesterol, etc. the best thing for the government to do put more healthy food out there for less money instead raising the tax.
