CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -
Pop could soon be more expensive.
On Tuesday, the Chicago City Council is hearing arguments over a proposed tax on sugary drinks.
Ald. George Cardenas (12th) wants Chicago to charge a 15- to 35-cent tax on drinks to reduce consumption and lower obesity rates.
The additional money would be used to pay for health programs.
The Yale Rudd Center for Food, Policy and Obesity has a calculator where cities can learn how many gallons of sugar-sweetened beverages are consumed by residents, and how much a tax would generate. Their calculations find that a 1 cent per ounce tax in Chicago could bring in $129 million/year.
