Good morning My name is Dhurv My topic is Should There Be a "Fat Tax" on Junk Food? Yes. Well, that's just my humble opinion, but I really don't see why this has so many people throwing their arms up in the air with shock. We tax liquor and cigarettes, neither of which are essentials in life. Why not tax something that is bad for our health, preventing more people from buying it and generating much-needed cash in the process? Taxes on beer, spirits and cigarettes vary from state to state but one thing's for sure...when you grab a shot of your favorite tipple you're giving money to Uncle Sam. Like most things in life, liquor should be taken in moderation. It's a treat. And as such we can stomach a little extra money being handed over for our shot of bourbon or pint of ale. Similarly, fast food is a rare treat, too. Probably more rare than a glass of wine or cold bottle of Bud.

Good morning

My name is Dhurv

My topic is

Should There Be a "Fat Tax" on Junk Food?Yes.

Well, that's just my humble opinion, but I really don't see

why this has so many people throwing their arms up in the

air with shock. We tax liquor and cigarettes, neither of

which are essentials in life. Why not tax something that is

bad for our health, preventing more people from buying it

and generating much-needed cash in the process?

Taxes on beer, spirits and cigarettes vary from state to

state but one thing's for sure...when you grab a shot of

your favorite tipple you're giving money to Uncle Sam.

Like most things in life, liquor should be taken in

moderation. It's a treat. And as such we can stomach a

little extra money being handed over for our shot of

bourbon or pint of ale. Similarly, fast food is a rare treat,

too. Probably more rare than a glass of wine or cold bottle

of Bud.
