If you’ve read Sip & Savor before, you know a topic we are passionate about is soda taxes.  We’ve shared our position on them – they’re discriminatory; regressive; won’t solve the complex issue of obesity that some in the public health community allege they will; and quite simply, are nothing more than a money grab.  We’ve also shared polling on the topic, noting that most Americans oppose the notion of placing excise taxes on our industry’s beverages.
