I wouldn't say it's a matter of control as I would say that I would help benefit the burden of society a bad diet and obesity costs this country every year...Billions of dollars... Tax would go to education, awareness, prevention, and yes help those fatties that are "doing themselves in" when the time comes etc. Why are ciggarettes taxed more? Haven't personally researched where all this money has been going from extra taxes on ciggarettes ...but i'm curious and will find out...
