So government suggestions are that a tax should be imposed on sugar items to make them less popular.
Well will that mean that my emergency sugar will be additionally taxed again? Yes, my jelly babies are already taxed.
But would a tax help reduce the problem?
Well we encourage people to drink fruit juice - nice and healthy. Just, very high in CHO.
Surely though, more thought needs to be given to getting the manufacturers to cut down the sugars, and salt, they overabundantly add to prepared foods.
And if sugar is addictive, a tax will not help much! Well, it will swell the government coffers.
