Now I'm hearing about a fatty foods tax. We already have a large soda ban . Where will it end? I could make a long list of unhealthy foods. Do we really want to tax donuts, white flour, and junk food? Should we tax CAFO's, GMO food, non-organic food, meat, and butter? Any tax on fries with that?
Even though the government is discouraging a few unhealthy things, many are encouraged with favorable tax treatment. Big AG is supported, as is tobacco, ethanol, sugar, and oil.
Let's let the citizens take responsibility for their own diet, and stray when they deem it desirable.
Update: The French are looking at a Nutella tax. What can you do?
