And game consoles and tvs. They're calling the bill the "Leave No Child Inside Act". I fucking hate sin taxes!

Nah, a tax isn't the way to get rid of HFCS. The *obvious* solution is to write a diet book based around cutting HFCS out of your diet and make it popular. I guarantee you food manufacturers will be churning out HFCS-free items hand over foot!
