AMLE
By: Suzanne Zimbler
A few years ago, I wrote an article for students about the surprising amount of sugar that Americans eat. Toward the end of the article, after explaining how sugar is added to some foods you wouldn’t expect (crackers! tomato sauce!) and describing how consuming too much sugar can impact your health, I mentioned that some scientists had suggested a tax on heavily sweetened foods.
After the article was published, I received letters from several students. One stood out to me. “Dear Ms. Zimbler,” wrote a 12-year-old reader, “I saw what you wrote about how sugary foods should be taxed. I completely disagree with you.”
