Let's just force fed people what we want them to eat. Who cares about free will (even if that means eating yourself to death)
I would like to see some evidence based health policy (to combat obesity). How does that translate to taking away people's free will?
Btw, I agree with what Stephen said.
Is to develop a much more physically active enviroment. I don't know if you've ever been to Austin, TX but that city is exactly what I am referring to. You see so many people walking, running, and biking. As a nation, we need to stop wasting tax money on stupid wars and start developing programs to encourage and develop a physically fit lifestyle. But we can't take away freedoms, such as ingesting whatever we feel like ingesting. Technically it's not an outright ban, but a suitably high tax amounts to the same thing.

Sure. Revenue's got to come from somewhere. But only after we end corn subsidies and the like. *NM*

Palm oil? They want to tax shampoo?

No, the tax is only for foodstuffs in which palm oil is an ingredient. I should've clarified that *NM*

A palm oil tax is potentially a much more complex issue than you suggest
