"You vill eat ze bugs and you vill like zem!"
I'm all for a sugar tax, but I am fully aware that drawing lines is going to be difficult, you should be too, and it seems like a weird problem to gloss over because it's clearly the big problem here. What do we do with artificial sweeteners? I'm sure there will be vocal contingents saying we obviously should/shouldn't sin tax them. What about LaCroix? Same. I think the answer is obviously shouldn't/shouldn't, but I know people who get shouty because their fad micronutrient of the month isn't aggressively marketed by the FDA. It is possible to go too far: I grew up in a house that omitted salt from its cooking to a degree that I would now say constitutes a food crime, even though I'd fully agree that most prepared food errs on the side of too much salt. In any case, I fully expect that unless we exercise extreme restraint on this road, it won't be very long at all before someone will try to twist my arm into a dietary choice that I consider gross, insane, and completely detached from evidence-based reality.
