Let'em tax. If you don't eat the stuff, or much of it, what's the problem?

The other side of the obesity equation is lack of exercise - should extra taxes be imposed on people whom the government says do not exercise enough?

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.
