I have a major problem on this matter. IF, the government want to try and cut out Obesity in Kids and adults. They are targeting the wrong people.
If the Government want to target Manufacturers, then they have to target Fast Foods chains.
9/10 when kids come out of school, the first place they will go to is a chip shop or burger bar.
I work near FIVE schools, and l see 99% of the kids going to Burger King, or McDonalds or even going to a Kebab shop.
That stupid prat chef Jamie Oliver, thinks that by putting a Sugar Tax will stop them buying sugary dinks. I bet he still sells all the fizzy drinks in his restuarants
I like to have a sugary drink. And people depend on sugary drinks. Its like Red Bull.
Are Manufacturing Company going to lose thousands of pounds and reducing sugar, just to please the Government. I very much doubt it.
Its like Plastic bags. Some shops now have taken that to the extreme, by placing Crime Tags to baskets. As customers are now taking baskets home
