About sugar tax ..... Yes. Looking at how our youth is now massively consuming soft drinks with meals and comparing this with the price for health - it is time to take some action against those products! No. We are still buying those products, even if it costs extra 50 cents. We just drink 1 coca cola instead of 3 in a day. Yes. Some action is needed in a national level if producers are not thinking about citizens health. No. All can find some research to support their arguments. However, I don´t understand why sugar is so bad and why this tax is not for soft drinks containing artificial sweeteners? Yes. Artificial sweeteners have even bigger influence for people health and should also be taxed. No. With this tax, all food is going to be more expensive, because many products contain sugar.

Soft drinks with sugar by consuming a large daily amounts, increases the risk of diabetes and heart diseases. Manufacturers have already reduced sugar in soft drinks. I can not say that consumers prefer those products. However, these products help reduce sugar consumption. https://pixabay.com The aim is to encourage manufacturers to reduce sugar in soft drinks https://pixabay.com
