Sugar tax and offers ban 'would work' says report

Scroll to see replies

In my opinion, instead of a minor tax on sugar, healthy food should be made cheaper. Many people would eat healthy if they could afford it, but it is a more expensive option than ready meals or fast food>:c

I was in a shop today at lunchtime looking a drink.

Most 500ml fizzy drinks were £1.25ish
330ml Lucozade was 95p
1 litre Lucozade was £1
750ml water was £1.05
500ml water was 79p

I wanted the 750ml water but I bought the £1 Lucozade, as it was the best deal.

I am completely against a sugar tax but I do think prices really need to be sorted out. I don't think 1 or 2 litre bottles of juice should be cheaper than the 500ml versions or that multipacks should be sold at £1, when the single items are going for 60-80p. I think minimum prices for food with high sugar content might work instead of a tax, and there should be maximum prices for healthy items and bottled water.

I do think food manufacturers should be encouraged to stop adding sugar to food in the first place, but I imagine they would need to start cutting it out very gradually.
