Re: Sugar tax
I think most of the surveys are a bit of a joke – though not a funny one. Whatever the flavour of the month is – or what there is a glut of, the so-called ‘evidence’ shows it is good for you irrespective of the fact that next week you’ll read that you shouldn’t touch it with a bargepole.
On a serious note though it’s sad to think of all the money spent conning gullible people (and there’s plenty of those) about the merits of whatever manufacturers want people to believe. Money that could be better spent, for instance, in research for medical cures rather than so-called research on what we should be putting into our bodies.
I will now finish off the Cadbury’s bar that one week last year (or was it the year before?) was given the thumbs up as to its healthy properties. Now I really did believe that research….and as for the research that assured me wine was a good thing, well I’ll drink to that.
