Will the tax discourage people from eating fast food? No.
Will it provide a strapped-for-cash government an income boost? Yes.
Now, I'd prefer if the government would quit spending so much on random crap, but barring that, it'd be nice if social security and medicare and such didn't all collapse when the boomers retire, which would undoubtedly cause a massive economic recession. The government needs more money, and this seems like an okay source to me.
