Deeply Talks: Can We Tax Our Way Out of Obesity?
In our first episode of Deeply Talks, we discussed we discussed whether taxes on sugary drinks are working to curb consumption and if that translates into reduced rates of overweight and obesity. Our guests were Dr Lisa Powell, the division director of health policy and administration in the University of Illinois at Chicago’s School of Public Health, and Dr. Laura Cornelsen, an assistant professor in public health economics at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
