Raise the sales tax on foods that are deemed as "Junk Food" to help lower the rate of obesity in America.

With today's obesity rate at an all-time high, there is a need for certain foods to be banned or officially deemed as "Junk Foods." To prevent these health problems from reoccuring in the future, we must teach ourselves, our children, and grandchildren to eat healthy foods. A start to this action would be to raise the tax on foods labeled as "Junk Foods," making them no longer a bargain. We should also offer incentives to promote healthy eating habits by investing in creating cheaper, more nutritious alternatives to these "Junk Foods."
