Tax Junk Food/Regulate Contents?

[Michael-5]

Sorry, I must have been half asleep when I made my other thread, I asked if we should ban junk food all together. That's not fair.

Here I'm asking if we should make laws which control what's in our junk food, and tax that food if they exceed a certain quantity of something.

The 4 taxable options are food with high fat. Tax anything with high fat to encourage people to eat more veggies and less fattening food. This will probably directly reduce obesity rates as chips, cholocolate, cheese, and non fish meats are high fat.

Tax food/drinks with lots of salt. Salt doesn't really do anything to food except make you thirty and food is so heavily salted in North America, that you can get your daily supply of salt from a 6 inch subway sandwich or 3 slices of pizza. Most of us eat more then that, plus if a drinks salinity is higher then the human body (like in American Pop, but not European) then we should heavily tax it.

Tax sugar in our foods/beverages, we already get 10% of out sugar intake in a can of pop. If you drink only pop, you get 60% of your sugar intake from your drinks, nevermind you food. Isn't this ridiculous? Taxing sugar will help reduce cases of type 2 diabetes (and don't worry diabetics should really be eating fruit to get their sugar intake).

Tax HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup). HFCS is a sugar, which your body doesn't recognize as sugar. This is why, in my other thread, many of you admitted that you cant drink too much pop because it makes you feel sick (too much sugar, but you body doesn't recognize it). HFCS is what those gummy candies are made out of, and out of all the substances junk food is made of, it's literally the worst for you. Taxing HFCS products will reduce cases of type 2 diabetes, and likely obesity as well.

We can also just life the corn subsidy, making food prices more naturally reflect their cost, and naturally bring up the price of meat, chips, HFCS and other products with lots of corn in them.

So should we regulate the amount of salt/fat/sugar/HFCS in food and tax any junk food/beverages which don't meet those standards?
