Study finds fruit & veg subsidies 5 times more effective than soda taxes
Researchers at Harvard and Tufts see huge potential in fruit and vegetable subsidies. They recently published a study analyzing the political makeup of cities across the United States, concluding that 40 percent of Americans live in regions that could pass legislation similar to recent soda taxes.
Rather than a soda tax however, subsidizing fruits and vegetables may actually work a lot better. That’s according to a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health and published this month in the journal PLOS ONE.
