Well that explains the diabeetus.
That is really just a map of poverty.
I’m going to look at how poverty is defined. You just gave me an idea for my grad school program.
Apparently it’s defined by your blood sugar 🤷♂️
Sugar should be heavily taxed, it’s so dangerous at rates of more than 10 grams a day
It should be taxed on the corporate side. Taxing sugar on the consumer side becomes a poor tax, because poor people will still want sweets from time to time, making those treats now more and more expensive. Well off people will just accept the tax because it’s marginal to them, but when your chocolate bar that you treat yourself to once a week goes from 1.29 to 3.29, then it really fucks your day up.
What should be done is incentives to provide less sugar/glucose-fructose on the product side and encourage companies to make snacks and beverages that have less sugar content.
i hate when i go down south and go to restaurants and order iced tea and get a glass of concentrated sugar water
Use Splenda, fool!
