Sir — This refers to the editorial, “Nanny’s frivolous food tax” (July 13). It is encouraging that the Kerala Government has decided to tackle the growing problem of obesity and other health related issues by imposing a 14.5 per cent fat tax on junk food items like pizza, burger, pasta etc.
However, there are other Indian food items like samosa, pakoda and other oily items which are equally harmful for us. The Government must also include these items in its list. Otherwise, it will look as if the it is targeting only Western food items.
