If the purpose of this extra tax is to get people to eat healthier, I don't think it will work. A McDonald's salad will still be considerably higher than a cheeseburger ($4.99 vs. $.79) and now thanks to the extra tax, its still higher.
He should do what Governor Huckabee did and start a healthy lving/lifestyle campaign (because the mayor looks like he could use a few laps himself).
Call it "a Healthly Detroit" and show people how to eat healthier on a tight budget, get more grocery stores in those neighborhoods that are filled with either liquor stores or fast food places.
A tax won't stop anyone. Instead of $1.04 for a Wendy's burger, its $1.07.
