Yeah they put a tax on sugary drinks to encourage the manufacturers to use less sugar if they wanted to sell at the normal price.

Cigarettes are heavily taxed here too.

Scotland is pretty bad for alcohol problems so they put a tax on the number of units of alcohol in a drink. So cheap, really strong cider doubled in price overnight

I can understand the alcohol tax but they shouldn’t tax sugar. I mean if people want to consume sugar and get diabetes that’s their business

That’s kinda understandable. Childhood obesity is a problem here also. There was this campaign I think called Get Up and Move. Michelle Obama also went around promoting good health and exercise.

Am I right @anon92887483? You’re from the USA right?

soon they will be telling us what eat and stopping companies producing certain foods limiting our choice and its all driven by govt initiatives,

when a govt is telling you what to eat and drink and puting incentives in place then it is like communism
