Health Commish pushes soda tax on YouTube

December

New York state Commissioner of Health Dr. Richard F. Daines turns to “YouTube”:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARMgjdbY93o to garner support for a controversial plan to tax sugary sodas and fruit drinks. In the five-minute long video, Sugar vs Milk, Daines talks about the nutritional value—or lack of—of soda and sweet juice compared to other drinks, like water and milk.
The clip features Daines standing in a kitchen in a plaid work shirt. Pretty boring stuff. It’s a good thing Daines has a day job.
