tbh I think VAT should be lowered to the lowest possible (15% as per EU rules) and then put things like sugary drinks & extremely fatty foods at 20%.

It's too high, and we should be raising income tax for the richest individuals instead.

Actually, the latest research is suggesting saturated fats aren't bad after all

Whenever we try and manipulate peoples habits by tax, it never works. Education is the only viable approach

The latest research? sat fats are butter and cheese most are educated enough to know these are perfectly healthy in moderation.
Processed foods containing hydrogenated fats are I think what create the greatest health risks and personally I would like to see the labelling for these products clearer too.
