Soda Tax, your thoughts?

What do you think about placing a tax on soda?
Quote:
Several of the nation's leading health experts are calling for a tax on soda as a means of curbing America's obesity-epidemic.
"We can raise much-needed dollars while likely reducing obesity prevalence, which is a major driver of health care costs, the paper states. "Ultimately the government needs to raise more money to cover the deficit, and in terms of ways of raising that revenue, a tax on sugar sweetened beverages is really a no-brainer."
