I have no problem with applying a sin tax to unhealthy food as is done with tobacco and liquor.

Do you believe that it is the role and function of government to use taxation as a means of social engineering?

No, I see it as a way to have the consumer put money away in advance for the medical care they eventually expect others to provide. Be responsible for what you do to yourself, and properly fund the medical care in advance.
