Oh you can still eat sugar, that's your freedom. But freedom!=no additional cost. Ultimately we all have a monetary stake in everyone's health, so it's completely reasonable to establish offsets for demonstrably unhealthy behavior. If we weren't collecting some additional fee for such things, it would amount to a subsidy of unhealthy behaviors. So go ahead and think it's obnoxious. We're even. Seeing as the vast majority at that time had no say in the political process because they didn't have a penis, or land, and weren't white, it's a pretty ignorant and obnoxious appeal to authority you're making via The Founders who were fat white rich men.
