Basic skills tax

According to reports, Heinz is planning to launch a baked beans on toast snack later this year that only requires heating in a toaster. Clearly the company thinks that there are enough lazy or incompetent people in the world for whom heating up a saucepan of baked beans and toasting some bread separately is too much effort. Unfortunately they are probably right. But two wrongs don't make a right. This product should be heavily taxed and the money used to teach people basic cooking skills. The same should apply to other 'convenience' foods that are turning people into slaves of the microwave oven and the toaster.
