I would like to remind everyone that fructose (as in high fructose corn syrup) and as the secondary component of sucrose/table sugar (glucose bonded with fructose) is only metabolized by the liver, much like ethyl alcohol (also a carbohydrate). The only reason it doesn’t appear on people’s radar is because alcohol gets you drunk and soda just gives you everything else.
Sure it make perfict sence to tax something we want to do away with. that is why we have income tax right? Can not have to much of that.
hey I got an idea, how about we just make sure food stamps can not buy over sugar stuff. We have the fattest poor in the world.
Other then that it is called personal responsibility.
Hi My name is Hareyquinn, I have a two can a day habit….
I’m reminded of whenever I stop by EZ Mart on my way home, and see some SUS (Single Unmarried Slut, a favorite Demoncrat voter bloc) waddling up to the counter, then depositing her freight of Bug Juices, Little Debbie pastries, and other sugary junk foods atop the counter.
She haughtily whips out her EBT card, gives not a thought to all the men paying her to poison her illegitimate kids (men like me, and I don’t even get any of the benefits of being a father or husband, such as hugs and kisses), and then carries her junk food out to the decent, late-model car she can easily afford due to both the EBT card and public housing.
Scott, I read you love Abigail Adams, but I truly believe you hate women who are currently living and breathing. This is a funny little tune called “Men”, by Martin Mull, that you might enjoy singing along to….
It’s great to be on a ship with men and sail across the sea-o,
We don’t know where we’ll land or when, but it’s great to be with men
It’s great to be with men
‘Cause men can sweat and men can stink and no one seems to care-o,
We’ll throw the dishes in the sink and clog the drain with hair-o,
(Clog the drain with hair-o)
Men, men, men.
It’s a ship all filled with men.
So batten down the ladies room; there’s no one here but men
Men, Men, Men, Men
Men, Men, Men, Men
There’s men above, there’s men below, there’s men down in the galley,
There’s Butch and Spike And Buzz and Biff
And one guy we call Sally
(And one guy we call Sally)
Men, men, men.
It’s a ship all filled with men.
You’ll never have to lift the seat; there’s no one here but men
Men, Men, Men, Men
Men, Men, Men, Men
We’re men and friends until the end and none of us are sissies,
At night we sleep in separate beds and blow each other kissies
(And blow each other kissies)
Men, men, men.
It’s a ship all filled with men.
So throw your rubbers overboard; there’s no one here but men
Ahhhhhhhhh, Mennnnn.
My county, Accomac, has been named “Fattest in Virginia.” People here have potbelly’s hanging under their potbelly’s. Size 56 sweat pants are on the petite rack.
Now go look at (mostly) black-and-white photos of John Q. Public taken back when America was undeniably a Christian nation, with Bibles and prayer in all the schools…
Where’s all the fat people?
Where’s all the obscene clothing?
Where’s all the piercings and tattoos?
Where’s all the freakish attire and profane allusions PERIOD?
They did not exist.
Yet the Left rallies against Christianity nonstop, and browbeats everyone into believeing ANYTHING is better than what America was like “back then”…
Yeah, musta sucked to let your kids play outside with no worries, not stress about locking your house or car, go out in public and never be exposed to all the ugliness that assaults our senses everywhere we turn now…
That Jesus, He was obviously a bad influence on America!
Your fourth wife was large. Was that your last wife are you on 5, 6 or 7?
Have you ever wondered why you go through so many wife’s?
You might have some serious personal and communication skills and / or these mail in order brides are not working for you.
Did you start in the Philippines, then Brazil, then Mexico and know you have reached Russia.
If you are an actual professor, that would not surprise me.
Well, and here I thought you guys were generally in favor of sales tax :) .
I know you were saying in jest but that is one of the misconception. I want a comprehensive change in how we collect tax by utilizing the Fair tax. This strip is not about a mere sales tax and it is about a “sin” tax.
Back to the cartoon. Industry sells us “fat maker” products that lead to obesity, and many of those obese smoke, also pushed by “industry” with little regard for the health of the populace. They’d make lousy viruses, because they kill their hosts. Interesting that obesity actually kills more than tobacco(many obese also smoke), yet tobacco and alcohol are “sin” taxes we readily accept, or at least push on “the other guy”.
Taxing stupidity is not the same as taxing “sin”–and may be more productive.

There ya go. Just blame some faceless industry for bad parenting.
toasteroven said, 27 days ago
Yeah, this is just as silly as pinning the blame on video games, or “the rap music”.

My fourth wife was into the supernatural in a big way. One day, I saw her reading a book entitled “You Too Can Be a Medium.”
I asked her if she was growing tired of being a “Large.”
She smacked me.

striper, I am on my sixth very successful marriage.
The reason I am so successful is honesty. I am never, under any circumstances, honest with my wives.
Take a note from me, gentlemen. When your wife says to you, “Now be honest; am I looking older?”, honesty is the LAST thing she wants.

What kinds of multiple personality are suffering from?
You post stuff from a moose, dog and mating season.
