The fructose isn’t, but fruit juices contain a bunch of other important elements. Moderate intake of orange juice (1/2l per day) has been proven to be beneficial.
wtf are you talking about. Soda costs more than juice. At my local store it’s literally DOUBLE the cost of soda.
These bills are taxing things that people are addicted to that are demonstrably bad for you. There is nothing good for you about soda. Juice is at least partially good for you. It has glucose and nutrients you actually need. Not high fructose corn syrup.
And the fructose in fruit juice isn’t “healthy” in any way. Even though it doesn’t hit insulin, it does the liver, and the caloric impact is the same.

Why do all these bills always amount to “fuck whatever it is poor people eat”?

So if we added some vitamins to Coca Cola, should we drop the tax?
There shouldn’t be a tax in the first place.
