      These numbers show that throughout the years on average the obesity rate in Canada has risen, not in all categories, but in the majority. I haven't posted all age groups, so just click on the link. These numbers also give the a legitimate reason as to why the government taxes so much on unhealthy (junk) food, whereas you don't get taxed on fruits and vegetables. If this system does work, then junk food will become more expensive than healthy food. Which is definitely a good thing. I think countries that don't impose such laws are seeing the most rise in obesity rates, take the US for an example. You can get a meal for $10 here at McDonald's, where in the states $10 could literally get you five meals. Also the states has no limit to coupons. You are allowed to use multiple coupons for one transaction for a single item, and get it totally free, in Canada one coupon per transaction. Finding coupons is not that difficult and you can virtually get things free in the states. Free and food always works with everyone, and it doesn't matter what the food may be.
