A Timmies Tax?

Via Mark Bittman's blog, an idea for taxing junk food.

If you want to see where your health care dollars are going, stand and watch a drive through line at Tim Horton's. These are people who cannot walk for their double/double and donut. One of the saddest sights is a belly tucked under a tilt wheel at the drive-thru.

Of course, this is just one aspect of a huge problem in our eating habits and food chain. But if the numbers bear it out, surely it is worth considering.
