I could get behind this... I really hate fat people
How would that help? It only gives government more money to steal or squander on useless spending.
We should weigh people at the counter and if they're over a certain weight then charge them more. That way i don't have to pay more because some fatty can't control themselves.
Taxing things doesn't do anything but further fill the pockets of useful bureaucrats, why else do people still smoke cigarettes?
I unironically support this. Even though I agree the government has no business sticking its nose into ppls private lives.
Here, they made smoking harder and more expensive to do year after year. Over time, people quit. Eventually, I did too. Thank God.
Sometimes, the ends justify the means.
please no
Because fuck fat people... The money should go to a health care pool for people that aren't over a certain bmi.
Any food can make people obese. Food is calories. Calories can turn into fat. You can lose fat regardless of what you eat. Even if you exclusively eat chocolate cake, you will invariably lose weight if you eat the proper amount of calories which matches your lifestyle. Sumo wrestlers get fat by eating rice. Poor peasants are scrawny and eat the same rice, except less.
First off that doesn't make you fat, so youre taxing things off feelings, not facts right off the bat. Then what about people with good genes who stay fit and active and want to eat that. Then ~70% of it will get wasted on inefficiencies and overpaid administration. Then that remaining ~30% will probably go to some other meme government program where it wastes even more to accomplish a questionable objective.
Sounds great
NO
Fast food does have tax though
>useful bureaucrats
Oops, useless* bureaucrats. Freudian slip.
A few states/cities do, but most don't
fuck off /ck/
>There is a problem!
>Let's tax it!
This shit is getting ridiculous. People can choose, and if they choose to be obese fucks, then that's fine by me. Just don't expect me to pay for their healthcare. Consider suicide.
>People can choose, and if they choose to cut off their dicks, eat shit and then kill themselves fucks, then that's fine by me
>Just don't expect me to pay
I agree that taxing fast food is retarded and I still think your lolbergs are fucking retarded.
>Food that makes people fat
People are fat due to a lack of self control.
Why not let people get obese and not have the government pay for their healthcare? The problem would sort itself out.
Oh. Here in Vegas it is. Thought that was all around.
why do you hate freedum
>paying an extra 50 cents on my jug of soda
Taxing only hurts people. You should reward positive activity.
Those who weigh less should receive discounts for food at department stores or for medicare/medicaid coverage. Nobody is going to lose weight to save $.10 on a burger, but people sure as hell will to save $10k on a surgery.
>Why not tax food that makes people obese?
why not tax the rich instead of holding the poor underfoot...?
Why not make healthy food cheaper it's like $1.00 for a burger and $8.00 for a fucking salad.
>People can choose
pick your poison
Because it doesn't make a difference. Any food will make you fat when you do literally zero exercise and eat all day while you play wow you fucking faggot.
>expecting fat/poor pieces of shit to take personal responsibility
PAY MY HEALTHCARE!!!!!!
you'd just be taxing poor people.
side note you can't eat this garbage and be able to
work. each time i eat this trash i need a nap.
their chicken thing I'm good with but all red meat is

Yes, self control. Things existing doesn't mean that you're incapable of exercising moderation, fatass.

Why Mcdonalds don't put objectively superior pork meat from their McMuffins into the burgers?
>Even though I agree the government has no business sticking its nose into ppls private lives.
yet, they watch everything you do, do whatever they want and even literally dictate who you can fuck and marry, and when
take your fat ass to the gym and quit making excuses
Why eat that shit in the first place?
>Yes, self control.
therefore, why not legalise all drugs then... and all military grade firearms... and let people create religious ghettos... and let everyone govern themselves...
...because, you know -- "self-control"
Tax fat people, not the food
>asinine ad homs to anons
Pink slime-into-nuggests is a fake meme. There was a lawsuit over it.

((((they)))) cause obesity deliberately.
have you seen healthcare costs in the US?
the cause of obesity is well known to everyone but the retarded masses.
if taxation wasn't theft...
but it is.
Instead. How about everyone is responsible for themselves and pay for their own consequences for their own actions.
Less government, less taxes.
Lefty tier logic.
whoa we have custom flags now?
but it's so cheap to produce
>things Rush Limbaugh predicted way back in the 90's when they were pushing Hillarycare.
What exactly am I looking at here goys?
What the fuck is even going on there.
>implying thatchicken is somehow disgusting because it's ground into a paste before becoming a nugget
Literally who gives a fuck thats like saying hamburgers are disgusting because theyre ground beef
None of the fast food or junk food companies would allow it. Their word is worth more than any health advocate.
...
who gives a shit about the obese
just dont give free healthcare to obese related illnesses, solved
>Implying McDonalds is food.
Came here to say this. There's no such thing as a "food that makes you fat."
>Why eat that shit in the first place?
taste is malleable -- if it weren't, all cultures would eat identical foods
you can acquire a taste for literal SHIT, if you force it down enough

There's no possible way to do it unless you tax individual ingredients some how. Even if that did happen manufacturers and retailers would find a way around it.
Millions of people who eat fast food rarely, occasionally or frequently aren't obese. It would be unconstitutional at very least based on the 14th IIRC.
Christ. How the fuck do people eat this shit?
Also, THIS

no.

So... every kind of food?

why not put lethal poison in it
>More taxes
>Tax normal people too when they use in moderation
>Fat "people" become poor and obese instead of just obese
>Fast food revenue declines, losing the jobs even niggers and other felons can do, with all sorts of consequences
>It makes you a socialist and someone who views citizens as children
Sure solved that problem, retard.
This would solve some of the problems, but it creates more: what about muscular people? I know very healthy people who weigh near 100kg. I think we should do what we did in the good old days: social ostracism so fatsos just get into shape or become an hero
are you this fucking gullible?
>Any food will make you fat when you do literally zero exercise
fuck off, kike disinfo agent
not all calories are created equal and you obtuse, sugar-shilling semites need to be gassed
are you that fucking subnormal?
My state doesn't tax food bought from grocery stores or clothes. But it does tax fast food/restaurants. Granted you can buy super fattening food from a grocery store. But what you are suggesting is totally retarded because how would you determine what is making people obese.
any food in excess makes people obese, faggot
doesn't work

I'm so fucking sick of these land Wales driving up the premiums on the company insurance group...
>normal people
then do what you're doing anyway, by ingesting bile, card-carrying normie

Yeah nah m8
Christ you chimps are pathetic.
Is there a single thing on this planet you are capable of doing without having the government hold your hand?
>any food in excess makes people obese

then go eat three, square Macca's meals a day for a year, and get back to us with your findings... you 3.14-D underwater chess-playing kike cock puppet... (or leave it in your will)
Fast food doesn't make people fat.

Why not just tax fat people more? Or hey, how about fat people pay more for insurance?
Guess what? Fatties already do pay more (although probably not nearly enough) for insurance.
The insurance problem just isn't fixable. Too many old people/fuckers that will wait until they need a transplant to get insurance. Not to mention doctors feel entitled to make a shit-ton just because they studied.
>tfw ketchup has more sugar (~50%) than ice cream (tfw burgers souse their already sugarised (((foods))) in the former, while blaming their toothless teenager diabetes on the latter
even the raw ingredients are processed
Social engineering through taxation worked on tobacco here in leafland, it would probably work on shitty food too.
>implying "muscular" automatically = healthy
you're projecting your rectal prolapse, cock squatting homo faggot
get rid of medicare would solve the problem faster, and you wouldn't be a fucking commie interfering with businesses

why are you being such a faggot? This idiot went from a normal diet to eating 3 a day. that was his failure. I've been eating fast once once a day for like 10 years now. I am 190, 6'5"
It's easy.. But muh freedom burgers would rather doom themselves than risk the profit of ze jews.

oh I see why you are being a faggot. FPH. how the fuck does this belong on Sup Forums? cause you said something about taxing people? well guess what faggot, I am not paying aus taxes so kys
Countries with universal healthcare have an incentive to make sure the population is healthy just on saving money alone.
What's going on here?
because food doesnt make people obese, lack of activity and over indulging makes ppl obese, i can go eat mcdonalds right now, a shit load of it, and i will never be obese
