Sure, rintin, let’s tax French fries.

Anything with that exceeds the calories and bad fat ration like French fries should be taxed. The money should be put into programs that exclusively educate the public on the dangers of eating these types of foods, as well as what to eat.

The fatties will gladly pay extra to get at those fries. I imagine it will only take a generation or two to thin the herd out before these companies go out of business and the majority of the population isn’t obese.

I understand you like to imagine that people are smart enough to think for themselves. I guarantee you the majority of the conservative posters here are obese, which 1) proves they really are idiots, and 2) they are the cause of healthcare costs.

Man we are so very fortunate to have big brains like you and Michael Moore to save us from ourselves.

Any item that prolongs someone's idleness should be taxed as it makes them unhealthy.

Cars, chairs, computers, phones, all shall be taxed as they are unhealthy.

Only pure meat, locally grown produce and grain shall be allowed. We're going back to an agrarian society.

Electricity makes us weak. No need for that. It forces us to become dependant on machines and makes us lazy and unhealthy.

Come on RFK. Why stop at processed foods? Cars and electricity and TV etc are all horrible things that make us lazy and fat. Let's do away with them

How do french fries exceed "the calories" as you say?

What if I only eat 5?

And you know french fries alone have almost zero fat don't you?

You know what has alot of fat and are much more calorie dense than french fries? Almonds. Should we tax those too?

This particular tax in the OP is in ultra-liberal Seattle. Are the majority of those commies obese? Are the libs in Seattle not smart enough to think for themselves?
