Tax on Junk Food, Eliminates Sales Tax on Fruit and Vegetables

Now we're talking. . . stop the poison through the money trail!
Navajo Nation Starts Tax on Junk Food, Eliminates Sales Tax on Fruit and Vegetables:

The Navajo Nation has become the first area in the country to approve a tax on junk food, pairing it with the elimination of sales tax on fruits and vegetables to try to compel people to eat healthier.


The Nation comprises an area of over 27,000 square miles, across the states of Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico.


Bags of chips and Hot Cheetos, among other items such as sweetened beverages and fried foods labeled as junk food, will cost 2 percent more under the tax. Meanwhile, the 5 percent sales tax won’t apply to fresh fruits and vegetables.


The tax was approved by the Nation to try to combat a health crisis—an estimated 100,000 of the tribe’s 300,000 members either have Type-2 diabetes or are pre-diabetic.
