I fully agree adding junk to food is a foods is a issue. I am just concerned their might be (hopefuly) better ways to bring desperatly needed funds to NM. I just wonder if there's a better way to go about fixing that problem, and try to encourage people to enjoy a healthyER life style.
I am also (I hope) reasonably skeptical basically taxing fake food and soda is the way to go. Do we reely need yet another potentially misguided tax? @My example heh, Point taken, I was just using a silly example of why that might not work.
