NEW YORK'S OBESITY TAX

New York Obesity Tax (Jan. 2009)
New York Governor Paterson would tax the people of his state of $400 million to fight obesity for their economic problems. This is only the beginnings of this approaching iceberg that take down the mighty Titanic. Other government agency's announced they're getting in on this new profitable revenue maker, that will cover their not having storing enough boats. (Re: Bailouts disasters and spending money's they don't really have for these bailouts.)
See: You Tube video of his commissioner Richard Daines making this point.
One idea is to raise the price of sugar pops since consumers cannot cut back themselves. Soda and especially diet sodas increase insulin levels, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes and premature aging and many more side effects. The drinker has a higher risk of cancer and been shown to cause DNA damage (sodium bensoate). He noted that the “diet” sodas are not included on this proposal but are worse for health than the sugar ones which this tax would leave out. Hummm.... (Gatta know what your doing before making laws....)
The regular sodas with sugar, high fructose and corn syrup will raise the blood sugar so high and cause more hunger and the use of our poisonous insulins of today. (Makes over all diabetes worse)
The sodas stimulate appetite, increase carbohydrate cravings and fat storage and weight gain-raising risks of more obesity.

I am wondering why the laws if really concerns for the children’s health do not taxing the corporations for damages these poisons substances do as they did the tobacco companies and make them pay back too.
How far will this tax go and end? Do the government actually know anything about healthy life style for us? Keep government out of it and states.
The government pyramids is incorrect, with not only too much meat, but it is advocating too much fiber etc. The government feeds the military, government schools from their paying farmers “not to grow” programs. Thus controlling foods, creating monies for stock corporations holdings they hold. Then buying back these same foods from themselves for their government programs (Farmer surplus has become big business), thus creating a monopoly for there corrupts foods.
My point do we need more “food control?” and if so, hit the government and corporations who peddle the crap not the people! A good point but gone too far? Or, not far enough? What about making this tax on all fast food restaurant's, instead! And, should we stop there? Who's peddling the stuff i.e.
