Obesity Tax?

NYC is proposing to charge an extra 15% for things that are not at all good for you like coke and pepsi.

did anyone else see this? thoughts?

that's stupid because you are wrong. you couldn't possibly eat enough lettuce to make you obese.

To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

If you ate nothing but lettuce, you would die of starvation.

Let's ban lettuce!

IMO, if you think "this isn't a terribly idea", it is simply in terms of unnecessary regulation = bad.

Yeah, but soft drinks, among other products full of calories, make it a lot easier for you to be obese.

Taking into consideration the current crisis, I think it's be a smarter move if healthy food got less taxed. It's pathetic how junk food is way cheaper than proper food (as far as I know, that's something Brazil and the US have in common).
