I'd like to see a move away from the sugar rush culturally we seem to have now but this tax doesn't seem to be the way to do it. Logically it makes no sense either as if everyone got diabetes and died at 50 the state would have a big problem solved since they don't have to support them for as long.

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
