[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems as if you health nuts want to penalize overweight people for their choices.  If that is the intent let's get right to the point and tax people on their BMI.  On January 1st everyone reports to their local IRS office for a weigh in.  Tax rate for the year is determined by BMI.  Bingo, just what you wanted.[/quote]

No, I want to penalize junk food companies for providing a toxic product, like we have successfully done for the tobacco companies and alcohol companies. I don't want to subsidize agribusiness, which is what leads directly to obesity.[/quote]
Your definitions of junk food and toxic products are going to be different than my definitions so my BMI proposal is much cleaner and gets right to the heart of the matter.[/quote]

So you are just an idiot. Since you are slow: Your personal definition of junk food is wholly irrelevant. Legislators come up with a standard definition, like they did for tobacco.

You seem totally ignorant of the legislative process, though, and I do not feel like educating you in science AND government. Man, though, your education failed you somewhere along the line. [/quote]

My education was quite good we just disagree about the degree to which the federal government should be meddling in our lives. I don't want the Feds to be my Mom.  Thankfully neither your junk food Tax or my BMI tax will ever be implemented.[/quote]
