Good Logic

Logic tells you that people who are eating too much, especially in a world where others suffer from hunger, should be paying a "fat tax." That's right. If you eat or drink more than your fair share, according to your body type and height, then you should pay a surcharge on your excess consumption.

Look. This is fair. In many states, if you use an "average" amount of water, you pay a set fee. If you use an excess of water, then you start paying surcharges. It's the same for our tax system. If you earn more, you're taxed at a higher rate. If you bring more luggage on a plane, you pay more.

If you are eating more than what you should, if you are flying on a plane and you are obese, then you should pay a surcharge.
