Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) said on Wednesday that Congress ought to look at imposing a federal tax on soda pop.

 

“We have to address the situation in the marketplace," DeLauro said at a press conference on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). "Right now, the least expensive beverages are often those with the least value to our health like regular cola or juice drinks that are only 10 percent juice."
