Comments about ‘Andrew Morriss: Don't tax fatty foods: The nanny state has no business telling people what to eat’

Lots of good arguments in this article.

However, try replacing the words "Fatty Foods" with "Alcohol".

I am guessing that many would switch sides of the argument.

This in a state that spends a lot of time, energy and effort to control what we drink?

More attention should probably be focused on the subsidies given to corn production, which has little nutritional value as a vegetable and of course far less as high-fructose corn syrup. Soda pop shouldn't be cheaper than bottled water. And one minor correction: the NYT food columnist is Mark Bittman (not Matt, in case anyone was going to google him).

Good op-ed. Well stated.
