i do not agree about taxing food more beacuse good healthy food cost more!
its the super markets and shops that should be held responsible and the people that pruduce these cheap meals,
also the pubs sell the cheap booze so people drink more than they should and end up in a and e or being dealt with by the police,costing the tax payer more money

People aren't stupid, they know what they're stuffing into their mouths is bad for them. I don't see why supermarkets and restaurants have to take responsibility for people being fat. It's all about balance. You can eat something unhealthy a couple of times a week... you can't eat it every day though, and some people do. And healthy food needn't cost more.

I'm going to let it go this time sheriff... but dont ever, ever disagree with me again................
