And rightly so.

I personally know someone who has been struggling all his life to /gain/
weight, despite a surprisingly sugar-rich diet. I'm sure there are
people out there who are in the same situation despite a fat-rich diet.

Also, it would address a non-issue anyway. In general, we're far, far
away from American obesity -- and the portion of our population who
/are/ outright obese wouldn't be impressed by a fat tax /at all/.
