Totalitarian Food Police coming to Canada?

Some Canadian doctors want the state to take away just about every bit of individual choice you have.

The childhood obesity hysteria has reached the stage where they want the government to impose:
a “sin” or “junk food” tax, banning certain obesogenic foods or ingredients, and modifying the built environment to encourage walking or bicycling. Political will and adequate support of these and other innovative strategies could have a big impact on the obesity epidemic.
The Liberal party has expressed its willingness to interfere with this most basic aspect of your life. The NDP is considering a junk food tax, so if you want your Big Mac and Coke without a massive government levy, you should vote Conservative next week!

  1. Great, and we can expect a tax on movies and video games next. Now that will motivate people to get out and exercise (note sarcasm.)
