Yes, education is not ideal, but IMHO taxing is worse.

Here in the US, big ag gives the heart association millions of dollars per year in donations plus the results of their own bogus tests that say eating carbs are good for you and fat is bad.

Here in the US big ag gets their money into the FDA and they tell us carbs are good and fat is bad.

The FDA is the government, and if they were to levy the tax, thanks to Big Ag here the tax would be on fat.

Besides LIBERTY is the ability to do things without government control. Remember "Liberty and justice for all".

You should have the liberty to poison yourself with sugar if you want to do that. It's one of the freedoms our founding fathers fought for.

Of course you try to teach your kids to obey you and not to cheat behind your back - but we elect cheating government candidates so we tell our children cheating is OK.

It's complicated. But the fewer government regulations we can have over our personal lives, the better. As long as our Liberty doesn't infringe on the next person's liberty, it shouldn't be regulated by the government. They are not our nannies.

Of course this is merely my opinion.

Bob
