Absolutely
There are those "enlightened ones," like Ray, Mr. CPA, who discount even the possibility of the Nanny-State Doogooders taking up the next cause celebre in order to control our lives and micro manage our existence (all the while, trying to relegate the rest of us to the same baneful, miserable state of existence these useless excuses for human beings exists, under) by taxing and attacking food products "They" believe are unhealthy and "could" cause medical problems.
This is so, even though, this in fact, has been ongoing for some time, now, and the situation will only be exacerbated as long as no one resists.
Not to insult anyone, but just as us smokers are looked down upon and most of us are wont to complain because we are aware of our nasty habits, many of those who could be considered "PLUS SIZES" are also demeaned and they as well, are made to feel like second-class citizens and guilty as well for their conditions.
It is not so much about the nasty smoke or the extra lbs., people carry, its about "Power and Control," (the favorite pastimes of LIBS) over our lives, and if those like Mr. Ray cannot distinguish and accept that fact, then he probably is one himself.
I don't discount the possibility they want to. In fact they are trying right now. I discount the possibility they will get the kind of support they have gotten on the smoking issue. On this issue they garner huge majority support because every nonsmoker has been subjected to having to deal with SHS from an obnoxious or oblivious smoker.
On fatty foods, it would be pretty tough to garner the same support because most people are not made uncomfortable by the person at the next table eating a Big Mac.
