Colin Wright. "Chewing the fat over potential food taxes". 24 Apr. 2007. - "There is, of course, the downside that due to increased financial pressures, certain companies could become very strapped for cash, possibly going out of business or forced to fire workers. This is a not a sufficient argument. Any company that is worth worrying about will work to change policies and ingredients until its products meet health standards, thereby avoiding the tax."
