That would be nice but there's a big problem. There's no scientific consensus on what causes obesity and how to avoid it. There's of course an official dietary recommendation but that's not based on science but mostly in politics (probably this itself is the cause of obesity problem).
Unfortunately there are even no wide range scientific studies to find about the cause of obesity. All the news on the scientific research you hear about are done with heavy funding from commercial companies like food producers and big pharma. Moreover these are small-funded research with very limited sample size. You can always find several conflicting research for every new one.
How could you put a tax over anything in an environment like this?
