What do you think? If you had to pay extra for soda and candy, would you think twice before buying it? A recent web poll of 1,000 people said yes--72% of them would think twice before buying it. Maybe that would be a good thing.

It would change the amount I bought. But truly, are we really that stupid as a society that we need the government to punish us for our food choices and consumption? Sounds a littlte too much like Communism to me... where will it end?
No thanks. I will choose to lose weight while retaining my freedom! :)
Another thought, lets just make the healthy food cheaper! :) Now that I can get benind whole heartedly!
In Norway it is extra tax on those products....
I agree with you that healthy food should be cheaper than processed junk food. But in essence, isn't that what the tax would do? Maybe a better idea, would be to tax food manufacturers more for the processed junk food they produce. Maybe then they would start manufacturing healthier food produts!
