Yeah in some cases. But not the majority.
Amd hopefully that will never be the case.
Because while we have the legal concept of being to young to make decisions for yourself. That concept means children do not get to screw their life up because learning is boring.
Once you decide children choosing to not educate themselves is acceptable. You throw away all other ideals of an age of maturity. While the US seems happy to do that with crimes etc. Most of the rest of the world is more logical.
The tax only applys to soda. Fruit juces chocolate bars and all the other crap in vending machines is the same tax as always.
While still crappy calories, they are all better than soda. As a % of the carbs is not refined sugar.
