Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with your health. They just spend/give money away so fast they need more. They add taxes like that, because they are invisible to most consumers. Just like alcohol, tobacco, and gas taxes. You know what you are paying, but you don't see how much the government is taking. The question I always have when I hear of a new tax is, How much do you think you can take? At some point our government is going to have to realize, you have to leave the working man with some money, or he is going to quit working. As far as nutrition goes, the best book I have ever read on the subject is, Nourishing Traditions. It is a pretty common sense approach to food, based on whole, unprocessed foods.
