It is becoming more widely known yes but where is the clarity... that is the message.
How much is too much, are companies open about the content in foods/drinks to aid people make better choices?

Its not a simple issue. For example sugar is part of the manufacturing process of alcohol. Sugar in its natural form in fruits is just as bad for you as sugar in refined format.

Eat carbohydrates and your body converts that to sugar, which again, is just as bad for you,

These people are being overly simplistic and not addressing the real issue - that people are not eating balanced diets, How do we tax that ... you didnt have meat and 3 veg today - pay 5 quid tax, do not pass go.

This isn't suggesting fruit and carbs be taxed no.

But the point is that they have the same effect and its not addressing the fundamental issue. Like with smoking and drinking - education is the only solution
