U.S. researchers estimate that an 18 percent tax on pizza and soda can push down U.S. adults’ calorie intake enough to lower their average weight by 5 pounds per year.

The researchers, writing in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine on Monday, suggested taxing could be used as a weapon in the fight against obesity, which costs the United States an estimated $147 billion a year in health costs.

This is just another attempt to control and tax our lives. The economy is where it’s at today because people are tired of paying someone’s pet project.

Leave people alone and let them live their lives in peace without government extorting money from their pockets to fund these stupid initiatives.
