[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2138044, member: 365308"] I think the food industry's job is to make profits and the current model is to turn cheap starch and sugar into volume sales driven by convenience and addiction plus mass marketing. The sugar tax signaled that some effort had to be made or shown to be made in the form of 'reduced sugar' lines or smaller products but now we have a PM who is anti 'nanny state' and sin taxes which is a signal to the food manufacturers that he is not going to give PHE any legislative teeth to reduce sugar globally rather than in drinks. Until there is a global reduction of sugar, surely there is no reason for manufacturers to change their efficient production and buying processes. [/QUOTE]
