Sugar Tax
Any processed packaged long shelf life food or drink which has added sugar, should be taxed at 1p per gram of added sugar.
Why is this important?
Sugar is a zero nutrition addictive drug / poison which is easily consumed in large quantities by children, decreasing the overall well-being of society. Medical experts are fighting for there to be taxes on unhealthy foods and sugar will be one of the easiest to tackle, will generate funds which go directly to the NHS as well as long term decreasing treatment demand.
