  • Sugary

    What's your view of the sugar tax UK.....and will Ireland follow ?

    The so-called ‘sugar tax’ has been spoken about extensively in the media as one of the biggest pieces of health legislation in recent memory.

    It’s official name is the Soft Drinks Industry Levy, and it’s a surcharge on all soft drinks that have over a certain amount of sugar.

    The main reason for the tax is to reduce obesity in the hope that the increased cost will stop people from buying fizzy drinks as often, and therefore consuming less sugar.

              Far too much sugar in nearly everything we eat or drink.....obesity and diabetes are both draining the health service of resources.......something which is avoidable........ if ppl took more responsibility.

                  Yep....just like i said at post 4.......thats the govt the robbers.

                  But ye know as long as ppl dont give a foch about what and how much they eat.....the diabetes and obesity clinics will be full daily.....as feckers who gorged themselves into bad health instead of exercising restraint.....drain the system of vital resources ....even when they were warned where they were headed....ignorance is bliss.....these obese individuals should have to contribute to the very expensive treatment they get for their self inflicted bad health.

                      Gov here are thinking of zapping up tax on Coke and sugar
                      The body contains a shoite load of sugar, next they will tax on yer weight
                      They are always on the look out for ways to make money to cover up there overpaid salaries
                      In South Australia they are taxing farmers for using their own Water Dams, and thinking of taxing rainwater tanks
                      I’m gonna stop breathing in case I use up too much Air

                        Sure Ed.....this is not personal.....this is general in this country those who dont care about overdoing everything from fast food to sugary drinks to all things bad for weight and health are costing the Nhs a fortune .....yet they continue to self inflict without a damn for the consequences......My comments are not aimed at you.....as im sure you have more fespect for your health.....For every one who cares theres 10 who cant be bothered. Its long gone the way ot the US here.

Pensions make me laugh......ye pay into a pension fund at the same time you pay income tax......then the pension you secure gets taxed.....i could never get that one. Then again there used te be a daylight tax in UK......all calculated by the number and size of the windows ye had in yer house......work dat fecker out ?

                              I love that stuff......love the taste of it......but I exercise restraint because I know too much of it is bad for health.......I just say no......But some know what I know about eating too much of it and they dont give a flyin flock......why should we who restrain ourselves be made to pay more and more for the treatment of gluttonous idiots.....who know they are way way way overweight .....yet continue to stuf their faces with all the wrong stuff including sugary drinks and fancies.
