The American congress is considering a tax on sugary drinks and even on junk food to help pay for the planned expansion of health-care coverage. The current total medical costs of obesity surpass $200 billion a year in America and when health-care costs are shared, obesity becomes a burden for everyone. But with this fat tax, even a 10% increase in the price of calories results in a fall in Body-mass index of 1 to 2 points. Which will eliminate half of the observed increase in obesity in America since 1980.

You used your source too literally. This is close to plagiarism, even if you mention your source.
