Big Soda, Spreading Lies About “Grocery Taxes,” Attempts to Preempt Soda Taxes

Statement of CSPI Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson

Congratulations!  Coming on the heels of sugar-drinks taxes passing Tuesday in Boulder, CO, and in Albany, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA, the momentum is clear.  We hope that more and more states and localities will protect their citizens from the increased risk of soda-related diseases like diabetes, heart disease, obesity and tooth decay.
