Sin tax on evil sugar; Nature essay by UCSF docs


Just heard an interview with one of the docs who wrote this essay suggesting warning labels on food re sugar content, just like for alcohol and tobacco.

Sins coming home to roost; US farm bill subsidizes crops by 30 billion dollars, causes cotton farmer suicides in india. Excess corn production becomes high fructose corn syrup leading to obesity and diabetes epidemic.

Sugar is evil.

the doctor probably got his research grant from the corn industry. for the obambi socialists, salt was first evil and now sugar is evil as well.

they want to appoint an inspector to check the salt content of food items and another inspector to check the sugar content. taxpayers foot the bill.

socialism is evil.
