On the table is bottled water, candy, soda, and now they don't just want to have our nice ALMOST 10% sales tax on goods, but make it 11% and now tax services as well. OUCH! We don;t pay income tax but we will, soon, I am sure. Yep!

If the tax is going to be used for some worthwhile cause I guess I could see it, but I still say it's our choice, and the government needs to leave the decision to us whether we want to poison ourself with soda pop !

It's so hard with kids because they beg and beg and beg! If I must, I make "soda" out of seltzer water and juice.

I gave up a lifetime habit of Diet Coke December 6th, 2008 and I have felt so good since (and I have lost 20lbs)! I think Soda is flat out the worst thing people can do to themselves and I am always looking for more reasons to share with my readers, friends, and family! I just reposted this (with credits given of course)! Thank you! Jennifer Thanks Maria!

Hate the taste of all the sugar. Wouldn't dare drink a diet soda, it eats the brain and may be a cause of Alzheimer's due to the "false" sugar. Maria, try drinking ginger tea for nausea. Use fresh ginger root if possible or anise seed tea. Everyone should consider buying their own machine to make sparkling water. Saves a lot of money and time lugging bottles from the grocery store.
