Michael Pollen "Big Food versus Big Insurance"
Many people have
advocated that something be done about American diet and the costs
of health. Mr. Pollen says that the
insurance industry will go after food consumption and diet.
Of course, in my very first posting, I proposed a badness-based
consumption tax, with food being taxed on the basis of its healthiness
for both the consumer and the environment.
