Well thats fine because most processed foods dont have sugar in them. The processed ones have corn syrup or some other such concoction.

We should create an Idiot Tax and apply it only to Ivy League schools.

How's about removing the price supports on sugar?
It would accomplish the same thing and reduce the amount of government.

Because you can’t over-eat on any other kind of food and get fat...
A-holes. They are just looking for their next excuse to tax something and give themselves more power.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

How about an article written with a title like this instead? “American Citizens call for taxing U.S. panels to curb nanny-statism”

As long the tax is assessed on liberal idiots ONLY, I’m ok with this. The rest of us don’t need a nanny state stripping away our liberty.

Taxes to control the citizens? Tells you just how stupid our fellow countrymen have become.

Exactly. I like cheese. I eat with my wine. Maybe I’ll just start eating blocks and blocks of Gruyere because I can’t have sugar.
Or what about 2 bowls of pasta instead of one. Why can’t they just realize that it all comes down to moderation. In EVERYTHING. Even in Government. Moderation and Personal Responsibility.

A War on Sugar will have the same results as the War on Poverty and War on Drugs.
