They have taxes on sugary drinks. French fries might be worse.

I'm not sure how that's possible since the risk of death is already at 100%.

I don't know. But on my favorite TV show '600 pound life' all of these people eat french fries. They don't eat chips. In fact, they eat double meat bacon cheese burgers with french fries on top.

I don't eat french fries or cheese. Cheese was hard to give up. I love sharp cheddar but it's not allowed in the house. I never liked french fries. They are simply a fat and salt delivery system.
Communists eat french fries. Russia grows a lot of potatoes for vodka and they fry the rest. The French are commies, too. The British call them 'chips' and ate them with fish sauce until they got sick because fish sauce has no shelf life. Americans invented tomato ketchup to replace fish sauce which just adds more salt to the fat and salt.
I say we tax fries at a modest amount... about 20%. It's for the children.

Fat and salt are delicious.
Was this supposed to be a negative for fries?

I'm for that. And stop using corn for ethanol. We've got lots of oil for gas.

Which explains why they are on "600 pound Life"
You know what else has lots of empty calories and is unhealthy?
Alcohol, chocolate and ice cream.
I don't drink, but don't look at my chocolate and ice cream.
