    I don't do fast food and as little processed as possible. Better for my wallet and for my health. It's a win-win.

    Seemed like a good idea. That's also why I don't anymore.

    R=UP

    A junk food tax is win-win - it's doesn't restrict personal choice and potentially provides funding to deal with the consequences of high fat/salt/sugar diets.
