The House Committee has the right idea - keep going. The link of sugar to obesity, diabetes other major illness is proven medical science that is finally being acted upon. The out-of-control and unregulated addition of sugar to manufactured foods will one day be viewed as tobacco is now viewed - criminal. My opinion, taxing high sugar beverages to pay for health car is essentially a user tax.
The same "poor grocer " argument of the VGA and others was made decades ago for tobacco. My advise; sell something else or create a new profit center in your business and stop whining.
