"every 10 percent increase in the price of a two-liter bottle, people consumed 7 percent fewer calories from soda" and people consumed less calories overall

a larger increase of $1 resulted in 124 less calories consumed per day

lower soda intake coincided with a drop in weight (~2 lbs+) and lower risk for pre-diabetes

all of this information came from a study

With a 10% increase in the tax for soda there was a decrease of 7% in the amount of calories consumed by people from sodas

And in with a larger increase like 1$ 124 less calories where consumed

Is there a bias on the people being tested for this intake data? Perhaps location, culture... etc.

When taxes are increased on soda people will tend to purchase less soda. Thus, people will consume fewer calories of soda because they are buying less soda.

However, the counter argument which is proposed in the article states that taxes are not what will ultimately drive consumption of soda down. In fact what will drive the consumption of soda down in America is better education on healthy eating habits for the youth.

# data[].attributes.body
How are we as a society doing a better job of educating our youth to eat healthier? The raising of taxes on soda in order to solve the health crisis in America is simply not the answer, and should be thought of as a temporary fix. What can we specifically do as parents and educators to insure that our kids have the necessary information that they need in order to develop healthy eating habits.

I would most likely looking for contact information within the article. Such as the names of the reporters and start there. I would specifically like to speak to the women who offers the counter argument towards the bottom of the article.
