going to McDonald's. They eat much better and they pay a lot more for it. Fine with me.

I don't know if taxing junk food per se would be equitable, from a social justice point of view. However, we could end subsidies on products that are harmful to people, especially people who are poorer.

We need to have our compass set to righting the wrongs of the past against people who have the most to lose in the battle for nutritious food in this country. We could start with a rational tax policy with regard to farmers growing food for Americans.
