It is when we have to pay for the added health cost. Internalize the externality.
Yes, that contradicts what I said earlier, but it's just upsetting about how regressive it is.

If we try to tax away fat or unhealthy people, I am of the opinion that we are tip toeing toward eugenic thought.

     I find it a little concerning that people are provided with benefits at taxpayer expense and those benefits are then used as an impetus to control consumption.
