We all know that drinking too much pop or eating too much junk food would be bad for our health. But, we couldn’t get a picture of how disgusting it is than that video clip I just watched. The clip demonstrated on how horrible it is to drink pop- drinking pop is like gobbling fat! I’ve got to admit, that video did disgust me for a second, but I’m pretty sure it won’t stop me from drinking soda.
I would think that growing obesity in our nation is an epidemic of large proportions because it might cause health issues. That is why I think that getting rid of chocolate bars and candies is a good idea. When the school board and other areas switch junk food with crackers and granola bars, it did decrease the amount of people from buying the food. I think that the government is doing a good job keeping us away from the sweets. Also, many elementary schools have a morning program called regular physical activity, I think that the program is a very good start into getting little kids active and outgoing. 
In my opinion, I don’t think that increasing pop or chips tax would bother me as much. I’m not saying I’m crazy obsessed with sweets, so it wouldn’t be a big problem if I buy some from time to time. I think that the crazy tax will just affect some people for a few weeks or so, but when they get used to the price, people would start buying them all over again. It is just how our society is, things tend to increase, such as gas prices, yet, we still fill our cars with gas, right?
