Jus' Sayin'
Funny how we never heard the phrase "gluten intolerant" until modified organisms were injected into wheat to double the yield. I'm sure there's nothing to the gluten epidemic either. Just like how places that ban GMO's don't have an obesity problem. It's just lazy Americans eating poorly.

I have no problem going after ADM or Monsanto in addition to taxing the obese who are fortunately still a 1/3 minority of the US population.
Another ancillary benefit of the tax would be a loss of their customer base as the obese become more responsible in what foods and quantities they take in. I suppose bicycle manufacturers and exercise related businesses would also realize an increase in business.
