I’m up (early) this Saturday morning drinking coffee and watching a design show.

I just saw a commercial opposing the Beverage Tax that has been proposed by Governor Paterson.

While I’m not the biggest fan of our Governor, I can’t say that I’m opposed to the tax.

The commercial is directed toward families and how the new tax would cost them extra on soda, sports drinks, powder mixes for drinks, etc. All of the beverages on this commercial are high-fructose corn syrup drinks that can, and will, lead to all sorts of health problems including childhood obesity.

So what’s the big deal with making drinks that could harm you and your family a little more unattainable?

Food (or beverage) for thought.
