Also a good point.I was thinking more from the stand point of the customer.Alot of people use the excuse that 'healthy food's too expensive' but if the taxes raised go toward subsidising healthy foods then it would encourage more people to buy healthy.
I don't agree with just slapping a tax on sugar though.I don't think it would make much of a difference at all.
