People who typically eat fast food regularly are those in poverty who can't afford anything better, so punishing them by forcing them to pay tax for food that they probably already struggle to afford just doesn't seem right. Not to mention that most places have a sales tax. So that would be an additional tax on top of an already bullshit tax.
For someone that believes obesity isn't caused by the consumption of fatty fast foods, I dont understand why you'd be against this...

Our entire economy relies on the money from taxes in order to have a functional society. Im not a fan of paying money to the dirty government, but at the end of the day, it would hardly make a dint in anyones pockets unless they are eating it all the time (which is why the tax should be implemented).

Also, I've seen people live off of $20 per week and it wasnt purchasing big mac meals for $10.95.
