I agree it’s dumb, but I’m also trying to understand how politicians think changing the tax rate for healthier or less healthy foods can possibly affect behavior in the USA when it’s set up this way in stores

There’s some evidence it somehow works publichealth.berkeley.edu/…/do-soda-taxes-work

But I’ve never known what I’ll be taxed on a specific item
