Therefore your reasoning holds very little weight.

I could say the same about your comments about it being illegal to tax food but I didn't.

They can't just add taxes to whatever food they feel like, they would have to tax all of it.

Says who?

Mister, you haven't played a real game yet.

What do you think?

They decided what is ok to eat and sell from a safety stand point. They are not trying to tax perfectly edible and safe foods just because they can be fattening.

This really goes beyond fattening foods. FDA doesn't block everything unsafe, a LOT of unsafe food is out there. They are still deciding what is and what isn't ok to eat. Taxing food wouldn't tell you what you can and can't eat, it just pursuades you to eat better or pay for consuming (and thus demanding manufacturing of) unhealthy food.

The "average" I was talking about has nothing to do with political or religious views or culture/family history or any shit like that. It has to do with the average of being informed about what people are consuming. A lot of American's are in the dark or just couldn't care less. They need to pay for their ignorance and it's effect on others.

Normally I would agree with Killaman but Dann has it 100% right this time.

how can people not know what is healthy and what is not?

Look at the today's average American.

unconstitutional

Someone ought to change the record.

I also do not like you using the term "Today's Americans" to justify your statement. Everyone I know knows what food is healthy and what is not. Generalizations don't work and should never be used.

I fixed it above. I hate generalizations too but in this case, it works!

constitutional rights

If there's one thing I could call broken record on, it would be this. But that's another topic.

Today's American's are too lazy to inform themselves about what they intake on a daily basis. People can claim that they're too busy to pay attention then there's the others that want what they want despite the consequences. Both of those types of people need to be taxed.

As if the American population is too stupid to understand the concept of unhealthy food.

Yea they are too stupid I hope unhealthy foods get taxed. I just hope they mark truly unhealthy foods, those including poisonous preservatives, not just the ones loaded with fat.

Skrewy, the burger and chicken sandwich are two different things made by two different fast food joints. I used to enjoy the burger shown above but since I moved there are no Carl's Jr. close by so I've gone without for the last several years.
