If you want some soda in Philadelphia soon you’ll have to pay a lot more for that sugary beverage!

A new tax has been passed in Philadelphia, PA that will effect sugary drinks like soda, sports drinks, juice cocktails, amongst others. They are the first city in the US to approve a tax like this, but it’s all done in the name of protecting the children. Childhood obesity is a huge problem all over the country, so the idea is that adding to the cost of things like soda they will become less appealing to people seeking a refreshing drink and perhaps they will choose milk, or actual juice, or even a glass of water instead. The tax won’t go into effect until January of 2017 so there is still plenty of time for it to falter, but if it is put in place they money generated will go to improving schools, parks, and other things that help kids.

Do you drink a lot of soda? What do you think about this tax? Do you think it will help to curb childhood obesity?
