| To Whom It May Concern: With great alarm I have noted the increase in the rate of obesity within this state. Obesity could be considered an epidemic problem as now 30% of our state is obese. Thus far, no government or medical intervention has made a significant impact.
I believe that a tax should be levied upon all foods high in calorie and low in nutritional value including soft drinks, snack foods and fast foods. The proceeds from these tax receipts must be directed towards health care, education and exercise programs.
Sincerely,
