Penn & Teller on Taxing Sodas
With all the news surrounding Mayor Bloomberg of New York and the ban on sugary drinks greater than 16 ounces, I’m reminded of one my favorite shows Penn & Teller Bullshit! and the episode titled “Fast Food”.
It deals more with the idiocy of subsidizing corn, which leads to cheap corn syrup, which leads to cheaper soda, which means people drink too much, so the government has to tax it to make the soda more expensive. Wait, What? Just watch.
If you’re at work you might want to keep the volume down low; there is a healthy use of the word “fuck”.
You can get all of season 8 which, includes “Fast Food”, through this Amazon affiliate link.
