Tax Florida orange juice!

Reading Time: < 1 minute

With all the Trumpy tariff nonsense spewing from The Great Leader’s orange-tinged mouth, it’s appropriate to point out that the government of Canada could just tax, tariff — or how about outright ban? — orange juice from Florida amidst the economic takeover blather. There would be no loss, really.

The beverage is a sham, offers hollow nutrition and is basically just junk food. Aside from a few nutrients, vitamins, whatever, it’s essentially useless. Tasty, yes, but useless in our diet.

In fact, in 100 mL of orange juice there is about eight (8.4) grams of sugar (pictured above). Compare how close that is to 100 mL of Coca-Cola which has over 10 grams (10.6) of sugary sweetness, likely in the form of the disastrous high-fructose corn syrup.

I can easily do without!
