There's nothing wrong with fast food.

There is something wrong with people who eat almost nothing but fast food.

Lazy? Don't know how to cook at home? No time to cook at home?

Taxing it would be a stupid idea, as would a "Sugar Tax". Look at the taxes paid on tobacco and alcohol. Have they diminished demand or just filled the tax coffers?

And anyway, what's the difference between fast food and eating in a cafe or restaurant? Speed of delivery perhaps, definitely cost, but probably not much difference in calorific values.
