I would like to see food stamps not good at fast food places. Alcohol and cigarettes are taxed and they are less of a health concern. The cost of Obamacare is greatly decreased by a healthy diet and obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are now a public issue. These freedoms cost the taxpayers. I am not taking sides here but medical costs will far exceed taxation if you choose to live on garbage.

Look at the track record of the government on foods. First eggs were good then they were bad and now they are good again. Alcohol is alternatively bad for you and good for you in moderation. They said salt was bad for you for a long time regardless of common sense and then recently came out and said up to a couple teaspoons a day is perfectly fine.

We want to let these people change the taxes on food arbitrarily depending upon the new research report of the week? Seriously?? We want to make the manipulation of the tax code for our food another thing the government can micro-manage?? We want to attempt social experimentation through another extension of the tax code?? Seriously?? I mean... Seriously??

When does this all end?
