Question:

Several countries are proposing to tax high-fat, high-sugar food ("junk food"), as a way to combat the growing overweight epidemic in the world.

       What do you think about this?
              (vote for one)

The government has no right to tell us what we should eat and 
    should not eat - the tax on junk food is unfair.

The government needs to regulate junk food in the same way 
    that it regulates a potentially dangerous drug.

The money generated from the junk food tax could help to pay 
    the medical costs for diseases caused by being overweight.
