As The Political World Turns

Nine months into the new presidency, a lot has changed. Yet the attitudes and push for what does not make sense remains the same.

In a television political commercial a woman claims that in these hard times moms are struggling to feed their families. The young actress hired to play a mom in that commercial also states that she is opposed to the tax on SODA, because as she puts it - that tax on soda will make it hard for her to feed her family.
I am a housewife, a mother, and a grandmother. I may not be a career actress getting paid good money to appear in commercials, but even I know that *SODA is a carbohydrate and that carbohydrates turn into pure sugar in the human body. And that one 12oz can of SODA is equivalent to one full cup and a half of sugar.
Why would a mom want to feed her children that?

Just wandering.
