I wouldn't be happy with a salt tax. I work in 100+ F and humid conditions. Pretty much the only way to survive is making homemade Gatorade (water, lemon juice, salt, sugar).
The real issue in this thread, in my opinion, is that people have forgotten how to feed themselves and now rely on processed and preserved foods.

So tax for things known to be related to obesity or malnurition.
