Petition Tax fast food to contribute to NHS bills

More details

Obesity and Heart disease are among the largest causes of increase in NHS costs in the UK along side Smoking and drinking related illnesses (which are taxed very highly), but are barely touched in taxes. Why are these three things so different. Why not tax fast food? In my opinion tax drive-throughs by an extra 30% for the point that these people can't even make the effort to get out of their own cars to eat.
