Also, I don't really see what's wrong with a small tax on bad choices. But it really is a slippery slope logical fallacy because the things that these taxes are on currently are luxury items that it is simple to simply not use, whereas food is not one of those things, so taxing foods is a different matter.

Finally, are you against the tax on alcohol and tobacco too? Would you prefer that to be raised instead by more tax on ordinary items?
