I watched the programme 'sugar rush' on channel 4 yesterday, the one with Jamie Oliver. He wants to implement a sugar tax on drinks with added sugar nationally and already has done in his restaurants. There is a link for the petition here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/106651
Whilst I think this is a great idea and may cut back on obesity and some cases of type 2 (I know it can be influence by genetics btw) the flip-side is what about drinks like lucozade that I buy a lot for when I'm having hypos? Do you think we may get some sort of exemption? It's not like we're going to but sugary drinks to drink for pleasure! Long post haha
