It's a pretty regressive tax. Stephen Send a noteboard - 13/11/2012 03:34:21 PM
I understand governments need to get their cash from somewhere, and that excessive sugars and fats can cause a health risk but i don't think penal taxes are the way to do it.

There is also the fact that those in lower socio-economic groups tend to be net higher consumers of the processed foods which contain these higher levels of unhealthy additives.
