一项针对塔科贝尔的开车数据进行的新研究表明,含糖饮料税并没有显著减少快餐店购买饮品卡路里. A new study of Taco Bell drive-through data suggests sugary drink taxes did not significantly reduce beverage calorie purchases at fast-food locations. 研究人员将有税收的城市与没有税收城市进行比较, 发现卡路里总体上并未下降, 但奥克兰却出现了一些微小差异. Researchers compared cities with taxes to those without and found no overall drop in calories, though some slight variation occurred in Oakland. 报告作者认为,小额税款可能不足以改变快餐店的消费者行为. The authors concluded that small tax amounts may be insufficient to change consumer behavior in fast-food settings.
