[QUOTE="Amrit1712, post: 942833, member: 149679"] Jddukes I think you raised the most important point at the end there. I'm 15 and whilst I do still believe that more can be done to educate others, I am fine paying the tax if it will help. Pay already for lucozade and it's something I use for a valid reason so am fine paying for it. Like you said about teenagers, it's shocking when I walk past the shop on the way home, how many people buy sugary drinks but not only normals ones, they drink lucozade original etc... Just because they feel TIRED or because it's nicer than water. That's where I believe educating people needs to be taken a step further. We learn about a healthy diet etc... But not enough is done to teach people about the consequences and how bad one drink a day is. A full bottle of Lucozade original alone which is what people drink is on its own too much sugar for one day. Then they have chocolate and meals too. People just don't understand the numbers and what the packaging means. They don't understand how bad 40g sugar or whatever it is actually is. [/QUOTE]
