You can bet that any "taxes on the fat content of foods" will apply ONLY to supermarkets and fast-food places, NOT to gourmet food boutiques in Manhattan or ritzy restaurants inside the Beltway.

The government needs to stay out of our lives, they have no business interfering in what people eat or how fat they are. I can see it now: Fat people only hurt themselves being fat so the gov will have to come up with second hand fat propaganda. Fat people make other people fat by association. Ban fat people from public places or you will be killed by second hand fat!

People like this guy need to get a clue. Get the gov out of our lives. We don't need their interference.
