As we as a nation become fatter and fatter, the government contemplates enforcing a fat tax on junk foods, such as soda. We have literally hit rock bottom; we are being taxed for being fat. I believe that this tax is pointless; Americans should not be punished for having a choice in what they eat. America doesn't need another tax, it just needs to start to exercise more and eat right; then every once in awhile have some junk food. We as a people should have control over what we eat, when we eat it. If we start taxing what we eat, what's next? Is the government going to tax where we go to the bathroom or how we wake up in the morning? No, because we have complete control over those things, just like eating. So I say no to the fat tax and everything it stands for. We should not be punished for what we eat, just a push to get us away from depending on junk foods.
