[QUOTE="RachaelRodgers, post: 1109494, member: 234473"] What drives me mad about this topic, is after watching Jamie Oliver who had no response for what about diabetics who use sugary drinks to save their lives and stop putting extra pressure on the NHS. All he cared about was the tax on those drinks going to create breakfast clubs for kids at school and creating extra sports clubs for kids to be active. First of all I don't have kids why am I paying for other people's kids, they've had them they should feed them. If i had kids they would have breakfast, a packed lunch for school and tea on table when they come home, I wouldn't expect anyone else to pay to feed them! Secondly sports clubs for kids, how exactly are we going to get them to take part? In my local area they have many clubs for kids to take part in but we are still one of the fattest towns in the Uk with the largest percentage of fat kids, sports clubs are not doing a great deal for them. Jamie had a great idea but the reasons for taxing the drinks and using to make kids healthier is just rubbish, parents need educating not the kids. [/QUOTE]
