I would support a less extreme version of this like taxes on goods with high fructose corn syrup (the corn lobby would never allow this to happen), stricter FDA regulation on food colorings and oils known to cause significant health issues, and the fitness tax break for having a gym membership. Actually taxing people based on their BMI seems like a bit too much for me, as these things aren't really an exact science. Supporting general health by encouraging exercise and discouraging overconsumption is good though. Regular exercise outside of team sports really needs to be more ingrained in American culture.

I generally agree with this, but that's why I went with "obesity tax" rather than "fat tax." I think once you've reached clinically obese territory, your list of excuses runs quite thin.
