Uh, yeah right.

I think more in the lines of the fat cats in government, as well as those who hijacked the ANC and country, lining their pockets with a new tax....

A fat tax. Thats what we need. Annual medical checkup with a doctor and if the doc says you are fat you have to pay more tax. Japan does it.

Yes because if you drink Coca Cola it goes straight to your ass

If you think about one can tax so many things. Why is sugar the culprit?

People are mostly fat from other crap they eat.
