If the extra $0.02 will keep people from swallowing all that sugar & mystery meat, I'm all for it.
You really want your property taxes going up once the humane society has lost a method of getting rid of stray cats?
Ok, you've convinced me.
Anybody who eats that stuff is henceforth deemed to be a drain on society because it will cost a bloody fortune to have the paramedics haul their sorry asses to the hospital when they stroke out, the cost of their hospital stay (if they survive), and their ongoing treatment/monitoring if they do survive. Henceforth, all such people shall be euthanized as a preventative measure before they fall ill, such costs of euthanasia to be paid by the person's family for not breaking them of their anti-social habits.
Seems to have your thesis covered.
