Re: Taxing Junk Food
by
Anonymous
I don’t think it is a good idea to tax junk food. People should be allowed to do what they want with their bodies. Junk food every once in a while won’t hurt you; it doesn’t seem fair. Why do we have to let the government interfere in everything? In fact, I recently read a book called Mean Martin Manning in which the government forces a man to “better” himself by being more social, eating the “right” foods, etc., when all he wants is to be left alone. I think we all have the right to make our own decisions. If people want unhealthy food, so be it. It’s their choice. If the government wants people to be healthy then they should create incentives for people to eat right, not punishments for those who don’t.
