Petition Tax fatty foods significantly and use that money to subsidize healthy foods.

As the obesity rate increases within the United Kingdom, it is for the better if there was a "fat tax".

How it could work:
- Fatty foods get taxed more, and so we use that money to subsidize healthier food.

For example:
- A burger costs £2 a piece while veg and healthy meat is almost free.
