I agree. Tax the fat people. I mean, the food they buy or the sodas they guzzle are innocent, just as bullets are innocent in themselves.

I'm so sick of people blaming fats for making you fat I'm going to propose the Constitutional diet: if the product you're about to eat wasn't available commercially in 1776, you can't have it.

Eat what the framers ate, and you'll lose weight.

Eat what the framers ate, and you'll lose weight.

Does that include the roughly one gallon of beer they drank daily? If so, I'm all for it!!!

Maybe so, but the framers probably got more exercise in an average day than most people get in a week now. Heck, more than a lot of them get in a month.

I think you misunderstand - I am NOT in favor of the government imposing "lifestyle" taxes of any kind. This is exactly the kind of nanny-state crap that has caused ALL taxes to explode and has led to so many of us completely shirking ANY responsibility for how we lead our lives.

On every other point, I agree with you completely.
