Proposed New York State Obesity Tax on Soda

Governor Paterson has proposed an 18% obesity tax on sugared beverages like soda. According to the governor, nearly one out of every four New York children under the age of 18 is obese. Do you think that an obesity tax on soda will help people drink less soda?

So, how was the tasting?

What did you think of the cranberries? Were they tart? Did they taste like anything you've had before? What did you like about them? What did you not like about them?

The Center for Science in the Public Interest has come up with a list of the Top 10 foods. There may be some surprises. The number one food on the best foods list is sweet potatoes. Learn all about this nutritious vegetable
According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest sweet potatoes are a nutritional All-Star; they are one of the best vegetables you can eat. They're loaded with carotenoids, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Bake them and then mix in some unsweetened applesauce or crushed pineapple for extra moisture and sweetness."
Number two on the best foods lists is one of my favorites, grape tomatoes. Number eight is citrus!
