I posted the other day about moves to introduce taxes on junk food and soft drink, and it stirred up an interesting and thought-provoking discussion in the comments. But it was getting a little heavy, so I thought I’d introduce some levity on the subject from two comedic acts I very highly admire: Penn & Teller, and Jon Stewart.
I’ll start off with a clip from a recent episode of Penn and Teller’s Bullshit! This clip is not safe for work, and contains some fairly strong language!

The full episode is available on YouTube.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart also gave their take on the issue here.
I hope that added some levity and perspective on the debate. 🙂

I’d embed, but CBF….Only the first 20 seconds or so is relevant….
