To whom it concerns,
I’m a resident of SF and a mother of an eleven year old.
I care deeply about quality food and nutrition. I am delighted to live in a city which cares about its children.
I definitely support going up against corporate profit making on the bodies of children. The Soda Tax is a reflection of growing public distaste towards sugary drinks as the default treat for young people. I’d like to see a more aggressive attack by local politicians, however, particularly those involved, as Wiener is, in housing and other urban space issues…and that is towards the advertising of these beverages in low-income neighborhoods and towards Big Vendors – the buyers, such franchise restaurants and sports arenas which contract for gallons of sugary beverages without compunction. While a tax deters the consumer at the point of sale, and 31 million bucks would be good for nutrition and exercise programs in the schools and parks, it does not get at the root issues of the corporate freedom to advertise widely and target low-income populations. I’d like to see this proposed measure object to this as well.
