How About A Tax On Doctors Instead?

This article in the Daily Mail says that US doctors want a tax on Coke and Pepsi to fund an anti-obesity campaign that the doctors want to run. I have a novel idea, why don't the doctors pay for the campaign themselves. Of course, when that looser, Hillary Clinton is elected president and gets socialized medicine passed, all those doctors won't be making enough to fund anything. In fact they will be lucky if they can afford a Coke or a Pepsi themselves. Abject poverty often cures obesity.

I did see one thing in this article that I agree with. In this country (USA) we use entirely too much high fructose corn syrup for sweetner. I think surcrose (sugar) is a better, healther sweetner.
