Yep and I'm a food Nazi, and I'm actually not even against sin taxes in theory. But if we are going to have MORE consumption tax, we need to get rid of all the other levels of taxation. Plus trying to do sin tax with nutrition is a fool's errand because as I suggested, the government is a major bad actor in our various health crises and there is so much room for corruption and undue influence, and any benefit is outweighed by ill consequence, intended and unintended, foreseeable and not.

Also, I have zero faith that the tax revenue will be put to good use.
