Re: Chocolate tax
Of course it was a silly idea to put extra tax on chocolate, would not make one iota of difference to people who eat it in excess. They are heavy eaters and would only switch to eating excessive amounts of peanuts in front of the telly at night, which would probably be at least half the recommended amount of calories per day.
Obesity is becoming a problem, and beginning to cost the NHS heavily with diabetes,etc. If nothing else, this Doctor has just brought the problem to the fore, and maybe educated a few people as to what is a decent calorific value to consume on a day to day basis.
As usual, everything in moderation.
Not preaching, I smoke too much, and probably have more than the recommended quota of wine every week, but I do know the dangers and, as more facts come out, urging me to rethink about my lifestyle.
