I think it's ridiculous. First, it goes against the whole mentality of everything in moderation by starkly labeling some foods fattening and others okay. Second, it will have no impact. People haven't stopped smoking even though the cost of cigarettes has gone way up. And it's really only punishing people with lower incomes. Wealthy people who can afford the tax won't even notice it.
