Only for "junk" food.  I really want to see someone try this.  Go ahead, make every McD's menu item a $5 minimum or try to gouge the fast food customers the same way you do to the smokers.

What makes you think they won't?

Maybe not alone, but add to that no more fast internet at the same time (a.k.a. no more fast free porn) and maybe that will be enough.

Or maybe legalized pot + illegal junk food will be the trigger for a very laid back revolution.

As bad as cigarettes.  Yeah, I hear about all that second- and third-hand french fry exposure.
