    Why not just tax sugar instead of regulating size? Cigarettes, alcohol and gasoline become addictions/necessities to those who use them regularly and they are just taxed differently than other purchases....

    Items with Xgrams of sugar are subject to X% sugar tax. And then they can adjust the tax slowly over time till we're all skinny or broke from the need for Pepsi and Lucky Charms.

    • Would never happen. American corn farms (big industry) depend on those sugar sales.
