The Truth About The UK Fat Tax

Is there any scientific evidence that proves taxing food improves health? Is it about taking the burden off the NHS, or a more cynical austerity measure mirroring alcohol and cigarettes, which people still fork out for the privilege of using?
Does the Government even have the right to manipulate what free human beings do with their bodies?
