Fine, that's fine with me. The taxes can go towards health education. My point being that if you're going to tax food that's bad for you, do it in a way across all foods that penalizes ALL high calorie/high fat foods, don't pick on chocolate. A 50 cent tax on a big mac vs a 1 cent tax (or no tax) on a bag of apples, I can live with that. -Camero ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:291608 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
