[QUOTE="azure, post: 942556, member: 39639"] Bringing back proper cookery lessons in schools so that all teens leave able to make a nutritious meal would help. I'm always shocked by how many people survive on takeaways and prepared food. I agree with RRB - a tax won't stop people drinking it. Walk around any supermarket and spot how many people load up their trollies with bottles and bottles of cheap soft drinks. They won't care. The drinks will still be cheap and they drink them out of habit. The situation in Mexico (shown on Jamie Oliver's programme) was shocking (putting coke in a bottle for baby after a breast feed - what?!) but their problem was extreme and it's quite different culturally so there are different reasons for the huge amount of soft drinks consumed. I think having a sugary drinks tax is a good sound bite but won't have much effect in practice. [/QUOTE]
