There is a bigger issue here.
The government gives tax breaks to corn farmers and that corn gets turned into high fructose corn syrup. They put that into all soft drinks and then have the nerve to want to turn around and put an extra tax on soft drinks because of people being overweight. WTF!?
Why doesn't the government give tax breaks on healthy food choices? Why the **** do those products have to be so expensive?
You want to know what? They want people to be as fat as possible. So that they have medical problems.
When they have medical problems then the health industry gets in on the racket insurance company, prescriptions costing astronomical prices and doctors getting their share.
Greed revolves around it all.

I so agree with this. It's a really great initiative to make healthy eating more affordable for people to make the right choices for their HEALTH. Putting people on benefits and accepting it is not the answer to helping people become a healthy weight and prevent themselves from becoming really ill.
