Mark Bittman Plays Good Food/Bad Food In New York Times Column
Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 25th, 2011 in Food & Drink, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.
Mark Bittman is using his New York Times column to explore the possibility of taxing unhealthy food.
Bittman feels this is a way to get Americans to change their eating habits and hold companies accountable for producing products that contain harmful ingredients.
“Simply put: taxes would reduce consumption of unhealthful foods and generate billions of dollars annually,” Bittman writes in an article titled, “Bad Food? Tax It, and Subsidize Vegetables.”
“That money could be used to subsidize the purchase of staple foods like seasonal greens, vegetables, whole grains, dried legumes and fruit.”
