Do you think the Government should play a part in prohibiting the amount of sugar that's 'hidden' in processed foods? Perhaps imposing a tax on sugar? Do you think more education should be given on the dangers of excess sugar intake? Have you cut out sugar in the past and noticed a difference in your health and weight? Do you have a sugar substitute? Or do you simply not care...?

I think the Government should butt the hell out of our lives quite frankly! They want more & more control over every facet of Australian's lives - you only have to REALLY look at the amount & content of those ever-present "Community Notices/Announcements/Advisories". I'm beginning to wonder exactly which country we are living in! And as for imposing a tax on sugar - are you kidding me? Haven't the government imposed enough new taxes & levies on us since the so-called "tax to end all taxes - the GST" (their words for it not mine!) was imposed?
