If you're going to eat meat, your only choice is processed meat. Unprocessed meat means something like a live cow (an animal known to put up strenuous and vigorous objections to being eaten).
Consumption of carcinogenic chemicals doesn't mean that you WILL get cancer, it means that your chances of getting cancer are increased. Other things that have the potential to be deadly and that should be taxed: -Going outdoors. -Not going outdoors. -Walking instead of cycling. -Cycling instead of walking. -Eating food. -Failing to eat food. -Driving your car. -Driving someone else's car. -Not driving a car. Also, can you explain how taxing things is going to reduce their inherent risk? If you prohibitively tax sugar and processed meats, you're cutting off sources of calories and nutrients to people who can't afford the tax. In other words, you're replacing a minimal risk of diabetes or cancer with a much greater risk of malnutrition. Boru

We can debate on another thread if taxin is the right way to solve this problem but the actual topic of this thread is why should we care more about sugar if it is known that processed meats increase your risk of getting cancer.
I've been eating processed meat since ~1954. Died in 1972. It was the meat!!!!

What kind of sugar? High fructose corn syrup and maple syrup do not carry the same health risks. (Other than your ass getting wider from overconsumption - and maple syrup is expensive enough already) 
Being overweight and lack of exercise contribute to an individuals cancer risk. Lets tax sloth and gluttony!
