and of course the true scandal of sugar

- gruez 5y agoThat doesn't really answer the question. There's a lot of subsidies going around, but how much difference does it make to foods at the checkout? Does [junk food item] being 10% more expensive cause a meaningful drop in consumption?
- kleer001 5y ago> That doesn't really answer the question. Sure it does. Maybe not to 5 decimal places, but you're not going to get that on an internet forum of non-specialists. You want more? I'm sure there's a dissertation from an economics student or a master's thesis out there for your digestion.
