Voting time!!

Typically when a bill or amendment is proposed, it's for the good of the people or because a group think a change needs to happen. However, special interest has the money to buy billboards, signs, commercials etc.... And those with the money tend to be the ones who the bill would hurt.  So when you are told how to vote, make sure you know who is funding those campaigns. Many good bills get defeated bc they do not have the money to beat Coke, Pepsi, Big Tobacco etc 

Example, NYC mayor Bloomberg proposing limiting the size of a soft drink sold in NYC. He proposed this bc of obesity, sugar and health effects. The soda industry spent millions to defeat his bill. And they won. Do we really need a double big gulp?!?

Sugar is one of the main culprits of childhood obesity.
