Again, no matter what, it's ALWAYS the responsibility of the person. But you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. On one hand you say it's the person's responsibility to make a lunch, on the other you're all for taxing to stop the over eating / poor eating habits.

I think you're getting a little ahead of things here. I was merely saying that being too busy isn't a legit excuse for eating poorly.
Regarding taxing fast food, I really don't think it would curtail poor eating habits either. In a perfect world though we would use that tax money to go to progams to promote healthier eating and exercise, but I'm well aware with our gov't that's unlikely to happen since they never seem to be able to properly distribute funds to where they need to go unless it's war related.
My approval of a fast food tax is not tied into a belief that it would curtail poor eating habits.
I honestly don't care if they tax fast food since I very rarely eat it. I just don't have a problem with it if they do choose to tax it.
