New York tried that. California has considered it. Feces and needles in the streets. No problem. Sugar in your drinks? Big problem.

No thanks. You can legislate against gluttony or stupidity, and they are a powerful duo.

You can't control a black market of Drugs.

You CAN control shitty ass ingredients that companies place in their items for consumption..

A kid isn't going to read a list of ingredients on his soda.. But a kid is gonna look at a heroin needle and be like, yeah that's not good for me...

Statistics doesn't care about your politics, Trumptards. It doesn't know where the US embassy in Benghazi is. It doesn't know anything about Burisma.

Yes, COVID case outcomes are tracked (disease surveillance) -- this person had COVID, did they live or die? This is where you see initial and projected death counts from. This is how hospitals and other medical systems earn some of their COVID funding.

But, in every state there is a system in place with CDC guidelines to reconcile death certificates and coroner's reports with disease surveillance data. Some states are better at it than others. That said, the states that are bad at this practice are the same states that have issues with testing and availability which means they are the same states that have more people dying of COVID without ever getting tested.

The CDC reports show <5% difference between surveillance data and reconciled data. Factoring in unreported cases, they generally assume this is a statistical wash.

Do you guys not have sugar taxes on food and drink?

Seattle has a sugar tax. The number of organizations that scream about how unfair it is makes me shake my head.

Also- Why the fuck is anybody taking any kind of health advice from Trump? He's one of the most unhealthy lookin fuckers I've ever seen....

If Trump put together a body building program, it's a shame to know half of you would read it like a bible. Buncha soon to be William Taft lookin ma'fuckers

Sugar is by far the most costly drug / substance to our healthcare system...nothing comes close.

Im more of the mind that we should address the source/root; like an obesity tax of 2k/year for any bmi over 28 unless lean body mass exceeds 88% of total weight. You shouldnt be able to dodge the tax just because youre drinking diet coke or buying sodas over state lines

What do you like to eat or drink? I would like to regulate it, so you can't have it =)

Do you believe the health experts?
