Great! Let's charge more for food to bring down obesity!


I'm not against raising prices on high fat, high salt junk food. It's been proposed here that the crap that's most responsible for obesity be taxed.

Thing is, the food industry profits from selling non-nutritive, cheap corn-based sugary offal, but the results are that we've got an epidemic of bad health problems that further enrich the pharmaceutical industry, for example, as diabetes cases rise. It's a vicious cycle, and it's not a big stretch to call it a conspiracy, either.

High fat, high sugar, low-quality food also makes people stupid and lethargic. Not a trend that ought to be encouraged.
