In the past, they floated the idea of taxing at the point-of-sale
过去，他们提出过销售点征税的方案
But those taxes have been really low
不过这些税很低
And they don't think that those taxes are enough to actually change people's behaviors
他们认为这无法足够影响消费行为
And so the idea of the excise tax is that we're really making the producers of these products pay the tax
而特许权税是让生产者来交税
Which means they will pass the cost along to the consumer
生产者会转嫁给消费者
and at a cost point of about 20% increase in the product
这会让销售价格上升约20%
That people are likely to change their behaviors

And this is something if you look in the past month this has been introduced in the state legislature

There has been a lot of interest in that in the State of California

如果是购买已经包装好的食品
that one side product of lowering the sugar content
减少糖含量的同时
is that many, many manufacturers are raising the salt content
很多制造商会提高盐含量
I don't think that this needs to be the case but it clearly is the case
我不认为应该这样,但很不幸，这就是现实
Which is one of the reasons why for me these are two linked things
所以我认为这些应该放到一起考虑
We can't unlink because if we unlink them
这些不能孤立开来
What's happened over time is that we've created low fat foods that have more sugar and salt
否则很可能出现低脂肪但高糖高盐的食品
We've created low sugar foods that have more salt
或者低糖但高盐的食品
and all three, fat, sugar and salt are related to our health or cardiovascular health, are related to obesity
脂肪，糖和盐这三种都关系到肥胖以及心血管健康
are related to other things that we think are important for our health
合理摄取对我们的健康至关重要
