Decent idea. Bottled water should not be exempt, though, since it is essentially 100% economic waste. |

Or like, ship all the fat people to Fat Island and have them battle/eat one another until there is only one really, really super fat person left. This fat person would be our ruler, as they are clearly too cunning and large to disobey. |

why should I pay extra if I want a coke but have self control and am not fat. tax the fatties for overconsumption of resources |

| Well it would make sense if they only charged this tax to the visibly obese. I, for one, agree with it. Obese people need to feel embarrassed and even ridiculed about their choices. ing cows. |

I actually like the idea. Fat people are an enormous burden on our health care system, and caring for them is a huge misallocation of resources.

Stupid. Anything can cause obesity if you eat enough of it... |
while that's true, there's a much higher propensity for these targeted products to cause obesity.
I remember watching an A&E (or discovery or TLC - not sure which one) show on some 800 pound guy. His doctors told him to eat health stuff like fruit, thought eating 100 oranges a day was healthy just because it was fruit. Dumb ass! |
