[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that's great! MD and VA should do the same [/quote] +1 Start taxing sugar too. No more ads. Treat sugar like nicotine. [/quote] Hmm. Not a bad idea. But why stop there? Let's tax meat too. Very bad for the environment and not healthy for many people. I also think we should quadruple taxes on alcohol. [/quote] We should tax ALL green house gas emissions. This would raise the cost of meat, but not by a lot I think (note the past proposals in congress for pricing carbon excluded agriculture - because politics) As for health though, there is a pretty vigorous debate on the health impact of different kinds of meat, and of sat fats in general (I am in the limit sat fats camp, but I do recognize there is real scientific debate) . The case against sugar is much stronger. As for alcohol, the taxes probably should be higher, but not sure where you got "quadruple" from.[/quote]
