- alkonaut 10y agoSugar taxes are definitely planned in many places and if it was as easy to tax sugar as it is to tax nicotine then I'd be all for it - in principle. I oppose them only because they are arbitrary and vague. In many countries with VAT there is a reduced VAT for "food" (typically ~half the general VAT) and it wouldn't be unreasonable to categorize candy and soda as "not food", effectively doubling the tax.
