I'm a Liberal who believes in big government and lots of government control -- when appropriate. Heavily taxing foods that are little more than empty calories makes sense. But it doesn't make sense to focus on one class of foods -- such as soft drinks and low-fruit-content juice beverages -- while ignoring others. However, your nasty, stupid little commercial makes me want to see huge taxes placed on such products. I'm supposed to feel sympathy with an paid-to-be-aggrieved actress who complains that times are so bad she has to count pennies -- yet she buys soft drinks! If she's so worried about feeding her family nutritious meals on a tight budget -- what's wrong with filtered water, or milk? Your site urges people to make wise choices about what they put in their mouths -- yet your commercial shows a family making bad choices. And, of course, the people who support your organization don't want people to stop buying soft drinks. What hypocrites you are.
