It can be dramatic. As one who once lived on junk food and then transitioned to whole, sustainable foods, I am continually reminded of the difference in productivity and quality of life with diet changes. People eating a standard American Diet (SAD) look it: SAD. They are very often unmotivated, depressed and unproductive, maybe not in their early 20's, but it hits eventually.

I think it makes too many govt. agencies beholden to the products. If our govt was not so dependent on these taxes, changes would be easier to make. I think taxes need to be much simpler and straight forward and not tied to particular vices. I am not a big fan of taxes on things that are consumed, whether it is smoking, gas, or alcohol.

I am not a big fan of smokers or cigarettes, but if the money from them helps the community, that is a good thing. Does that counter balance the effect of not having the tax from cigarettes?

I understand the position that the US Economy is currently in - but all of us over the world need to learn. We don't think twice before eating, and then later health-care services, gyms, etc. cost us extra bucks. What a drain! Anyone who's a true patriot will consider this important - your <strong>Better diet and Lifestyle</strong> will give you a healthy and longer life, plus it will be such an asset to your nation's economy. $5.60 return on a positive investment of $1 is a big thing!
