re: What do you think about the proposed 'sugar tax'??

Hear hear Mandy… Totally agree…. Educating people and raising the awareness of bad sugars and allocated daily intakes will help things enormously…taxing sugar is not going to take the problem away, or reduce intake… There is so much sugar in products that are said to be healthy… Take muller light… It might be low on fat but it’s packed with sugar, which in turn turns to carbs and fat storage …. There is not enough information out there in educating people on sugar. The focus is on fat intake… Where sugar is as much, if not more dangerous….
Education education education… It starts in the home, with the parents, who then, by example, put the awareness in places with the kids . Schools lunches and the school shops also need to focus more as well as teaching the awareness of sugar to the children too.
Great debate :) thanks Karen
