Although I agree that too many Americans are essentially porkers, I certainly don't want to see certain types of foods taxed.

I keep a normal weight by eating food I cook from scratch. I use butter, meat, and lots of dairy products but because I use portion control and don't eat a lot of preprocessed food, I'm not fat.

Although I hate to say to it, ridicule probably did more to trim waistlines than "incentives" ever will.

OUCH - but very true!!!!

Not only is cooking from scratch healthier, it is far less expensive, and if you plan ahead, no more time consuming than processed foods.

I don't deny using processed/packaged/LAZY foods of occassion - but those occassions are rare. I tend to make my own frozen dinners.....cook large quantities at a time and freeze the rest in meal size servings.
