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...?

Between natuaral sugars in fruits and vegetables and all the processing out there that puts sugars into these foods do you really think that it is necessary? We don't need another tax! We have taxes on smokes, they tried putting one on alchol, (to prevent binge drinking), The goverment has even tried putting a tax on fast food and takeaway food at one point if I remember correctly, why do we need another tax do we? I should bluddy well hope not!
