Or, you could alert people to the risks, ensure accurate nutritional information on packaging, and otherwise fuck off out of people’s lives.

i doubt it would save lives and more add to complaints about cost of living increases, but I don’t really have any skin in the game on this one. Go for it I guess.

lol, all it will do is steal more money from the poor to give as handouts to the rich.
Until they start taxing the ultra rich and ASSETS, any other tax is just money stolen to be handed over to the rich in the forms of subsidies and “defence” funding.

Ah yes just what we need more busy bodies telling us what we can eat where we can go what car we can drive how we heat our homes etc etc.Â

Look, as great as it would be to cut back on fast food, a lot of people don’t have the time or money to cook at home. If we want people to make better choices, we have to make the better option feasible

seems like a food culture problem rather than a food access problem. The study they cite also mentions a rise in take up of convenience based food options as well as households having a budget for ‘junk food’. taxing something and saying ‘well just do it less’ i doubt will fix the problem the people prone to overconsumption of these products suffer from. That being said im sure cigarette smokers said the same thing.

How bout a trade, reduced tax on beer in exchange for a tax on junk food?
