In this March 16, 2017 photo, Margaret Atkinson speaks during an interview as she shops for soda at the IGA supermarket in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia. Less than three months into Philadelphia's new tax on sweetened drinks, the stakes have escalated: Beverage makers say the measure is hurting sales so much they need to cut jobs, while city officials say the moves are a ploy to get the tax struck down. Atkinson said she has switched to generic brands and is asking a nephew in the suburbs to pick up soda for her. She's also drinking more homemade iced tea and bottled water with flavor packets.
