A Rise in Diabetes and Tax Income Implications 2050
Monday, October 25, 2010
It is possible that a cut-back on the purchase of taxable food items
(sugar based foods) could cut into US tax revenue. The 'estimate' for
the increase in Diabetes is about 1 in 3 adults by the year 2050.
Cut-backs on purchases of soda, donuts, candy, fast food, and other
restaurant foods which are high in fat, carbs and salt would greatly
reduce tax income. Currently healthy food items such as fresh fruit,
vegetables, and whole grains are not taxed.
