What's the deal with sugar?

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 don't agree with a tax on sugar. Groceries are already getting so expensive especially on a limited income. But bigger labels showing sugar and salt in products would be much better. I constantly check labels now and get a real shock when I come acress some of the sugar and salt added to produts. Education is definitely the way to go. But the government has to do something really quickly to ensure any hidden products are on the labels.
