Obviously it's both activity and calorie consumption.
I work an office job and I've lost 10 pounds just by changing my diet.
I basically gave up sugar and bread for lunches and I just snack on vegetables throughout the work day.

A cholesterol tax would be wise too. I like user-pay taxation. If we're going to have socialised healthcare, then I'd like at least some of that money to come from a sugar tax to fund care for diabetes sufferers, a cholesterol tax for heart-disease sufferers, and a carbon tax for asthma sufferers. The extra revenue could go towards paying off the debt. No more freebies.
I don't agree with subsidising healthy food though. The government has a debt to pay off first.
That explains That flossy thread....ex-smokers, ex-drinkers, ex-dopers, seem to want to reform everybody, whether they want to or not...
Freeloaders generally do oppose user-pay taxation. They prefer that taxes be decoupled from the services for which they are being collected. They tend to prefer income taxes.
No kidding eh. It's time we just deregulated the heroin trade around our public schools. FREEDOM!
Your work is sitting at the computer posting on the internet all day .
Who would pay for that ?
It must be in a government office .
If you're an internet addict, try the Screen Time app and the Perfect App Lock app. They work well in combination.
OH this is a brilliant idea. MOAR TAXES!!!
Why not just strictly regulate how much sugar can be put into foods that are sold in Canada? A sugar tax would be nothing like the tobacco tax because you can't really say, "put less tobacco in your tobacco products". But EVERY soda maker could reduce their sugar content by half and still produce a perfectly drinkable product. Same with the cold cereal, etc etc.
Maybe the Senate could quit being a bunch of lazy f*cks and think of something a little more original than more taxes. Because that's what this idea is, pure laziness.

That's another solution, but then people could argue that it limits their freedom.
I think we should also tax bicycles. The health cost when they cut in front of a car and get themselves broken into a big pile of goo should not be borne by everyday taxpayers. And what about joggers? Also we should tax them. Those bad knees and stuff they wind up with also put a burden on the system.
Well, as long as we're banning things by taxation, I got a list. . .
1. Tie-dye.
2. White people with dreadlocks.
3. The color orange.
4. Kardashians.
5. Plaid flannel.
6. Flip-flops that cost over $10.
7. Bumper stickers.
8. Skinny jeans.
9. E-mail spam.
10. Facebook likes.

Nah, the salty right-wingers pissing and moaning about Trudeaubama'd go broke. With no dole or nothing!they might as well have a salt tax as well.
