#3: Obesity

1. Summary: New Yorker are opposing to "the soda tax" of Gv. Paterson. However, this term is based on a study of Dr. Claire Wang about how sugar drinks consumption leads to obesity and others kind of serious diseases. This issue brought out lots of controversy between the consumer and the Government.
2. I think this could be a way to show that the US government cares about US residents 's health. However, whether this works or not, it depends. Just like cigarettes was taxed before, but still, there are lots of smokers. Once people are addicted to something, they could do anything to get it so money is not a big issue for them. I think in order to prevent obesity, government should find some other ways to educate the residents about how bad it is for health.
3. This is my article
I choose this article because it provides tips to prevents obesity that we could easily do it at home.

I commented on Hyeyeon and Candy's blogs.
