So is the government going to write a check on the backend to the pepsi's and coca colas of the world when profits plunge? Or will the fat pigs keep slurping it up?
I know for me when NY state entertained this idea, I stopped buying soda altogether. Now, do I buy Kool Aid in the canister pre-mixed with sugar? Or the unsweetned packets along with packets of Splenda?43-922-863 Shut up and play your guitar.

Maybe a health chart should be created, and the companies that provide the products we consume should be taxed and penalized as follows. This would require a non-biased group of experts of course, but for example...
Naturally raised beef, with no growth hormones or antibiotics = no extra taxes or penalties.
Modified beef, filled with growth hormones and antibiotics = extra taxes and penalties.
Drinks sweetened with real sugar = no extra taxes or penalties.
Drinks sweetened with corn syrups and/or poisonous sweeteners = extra taxes and penalties.
Bread products made with whole grains = no extra taxes or penalties.
Bread products made with processed flour = extra taxes and penalties.
This could force the companies that provide our food to think twice before poisoning us, as their profits will be higher if their products are healthier.
Just a thought....Comment

That's high as shit, they raised the sales tax here from 7.5 up to 8.75%. 3 years ago they raised it from 6.5 to 7.5 and told everyone it was only for 2 yeas boom you think they took it back down? NO LMAO , this hike is going to go back to 7.5 in 2 years LMFAO! It's Government great? They have raised the Sin tax (smokes and alcohol) and on top of that raise now they kick in another 8.75%.Comment

The govt pays subsidies to farmers which drives the price of food down and encourages things like corn syrup. So now they want to tax the bad food that comes from this policy. In a round about way its double taxation, since our taxes pay the subsidies to begin with. I question the logic, since when do more taxes solve bad govt policies?Comment

If a family or a person is on a limited budget, they are WAY more likely to make bad food decisions, as unhealthy foods are much cheaper, and easier to find.
You can feed a family of five at a fast food joint for around $20 - you can buy lots of processed food and crap meat (like hot dogs and bologna), plus sugary drinks at the supermarket for five people, for around $20 as well.
If you want natural foods, organic meats and vegetables, fresh fruit, healthy drinks, whole grain breads, etc.... it will be much more difficult (if not impossible) to accomplish for that same $20 budget.
Sure, you can probably live on beans and brown rice for a while, but your variety of food combinations in that price range will be very limited.
Ideally it should cost MORE to eat crap, and LESS to eat healthy.
That should be the challenge we take on. Tax BREAKS for healthy farmers and food producers, and taxes and penalties for those who wish to poison us.Comment

Unhealthy food being cheaper is a myth. What is usually meant it unhealthy food that you don't have to actually cook is cheaper than healthy foods. Very basic vegetables are not expensive..spuds, carrots, onion, etc but you need to be able to cook a bit to make them into the cheap meals they can be.Comment

New Coke? Marketing fears? Who cares?
Good idea tho, if it curbs the drinking of sugar-water. That's why our kids are so fat, and us, too, so anything that reduces the consumption is ok with me. Of course, what a slippery slope, eh? We could be next: a porn tax! Hey, if it reduces the consumption of porn some relegious nuts might think it's a good thing and start lobbying for it.
So ultimately: fuck the tax. Never give an inch, they take a mile.My Affiliate Programs:

Let's cut out the bullshit. Instead of taxing unhealthy food thay should just tax people for being fat asses. a Fat Bastard Tax. And yes, that means my taxes will be going up if passed lolLast edited by beerptrol; 09-17-2009, 01:08 PM.“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”
