That’s why 50% of people are obese. Because food is cheap and they buy the wrong kind. Meats, processed crap, HFCS, fried foods - all terrible. If food was more expensive people would make better, healthier choices about what they bought.
Sugar is quite cheap, it's even subsidized by the federal government to keep it cheap. Do you think this will have the effect you want if you increase taxes?
