That sounds good, but in reality few people pay out of their own 
pockets for 100% of the medical costs they incur over their lifetime. 
Instead society pays their medical costs, either in taxes or in the 
costs of goods and services. So banning a food that is clearly 
unhealthy will pass savings on to me and the rest of society.
