Looking from the other point of view, the logic is sound. Use a slight tax increase on things that help sustain obesity and use that revenue to fund anti-obesity programs. As obesity drops (as would be expected), less funding for these programs will be required (this means that fewer people will be purchasing sweets due to the programs, not that the
