Some brilliant left wing logic. How about finding ways to make healthy foods cheaper?

Unhealthy foods tend to be cheaper and taxing them further hurts the poor.

That's not really true, though. Going down the junk food aisle is a lot more expensive than hitting the produce section. A bag of potato chips can be over $4, while bananas are like 50 cents a pound. But most people will opt for the former. It's just a cultural thing.
