What is with this country now?? Everything has to be solved with tax increases here and price increases there. I wonder how the rest of the world manages to survive without these good "taxes"??
Using his logic why not tax potatoes and sugar then? People would eat less chips and put less sugar on their cereal and in their tea and coffee. If we tax cooking oil then less people will use it for deep frying. Let's increase taxes on wheat so bread goes up in price and we eat less and ditto for rice too. Let's all tax alcohol more also. Let's tax eggs too,cream and full fat milk. All of these suggestions will cut obesity levels won't they?? No! Wrong!!
If anything it is people's over reliance on pre-processed food which is the main problem. If more people cooked healthier meals for themselves from base ingredients instead of buying pre-processed junk all the time it would be much better for their health. Also they are not necessary expensive or time consuming to prepare either. People are just lazy nowadays. Another factor is people do not exercise enough either.
Its typical with some people I bet he does not even like chocolate that much either !! It is just like those people who say we should ban FPS games and yet they themselves do not play them.
