The Bay Area Takes on Big Soda, Again
| This November, Bay Area voters decide whether to pass soda taxes in San Francisco (Prop V), Oakland (Measure HH), and Albany (Measure O1). After a successful ballot measure in Berkeley and defeat in San Francisco in 2014, this new wave of campaigns is expanding the fight against Big Soda.
The sugary beverage industry is hitting back hard, pouring millions of dollars into mailers and ads aimed to frame the measure as a "grocery tax," rather than a public health campaign. But last month, an Alameda County court ruling uprooted the basis of the American Beverage Association's deceptive counter-campaign.
We spoke with Yes on HH spokesperson Diane Woloshin, the Coalition Director at Coalition for Healthy Oakland Children, to learn more about the soda tax, deconstruct the "grocery tax" myth, and find out how soda taxes can play in a part in addressing the diabetes crisis. |
