I especially like how every time I state something specific, you respond with a vague generalization that, if acted upon, could be used to justify all kinds of bans, laws, and taxes... some of which, once again, you would not personally care to be subjected to.
I responded to the extreme sport one. As for the sedentary lifestyle that's not directly a product in itself.
Maybe you're just not convinced about the actual harm that sugar and obesity causes. I won't be able to write a good summary of the research here and now,but there's a lot of evidence out there. It's more dangerous than many people would assume.
No, they don't, unless they are doing something their policies call out explicitly. Which is extremely rare.
There's also huge taxes on alcohol and tobacco for instance.
Because unlike soda, the damage done by those products is unequivocally identifiable.
