- petepete 2y agoYou answered it yourself. Parents don't know/care, their kids bare the brunt. Taxing isn't ideal and is a blunt instrument at best - but I'm not convinced there's a better (working) alternative.
- ollybee 2y agoI don't think it is a blunt instrument, in fact I'd say the complete opposite. It's been a nudge of industry in a direction that's better for society, in a way that keeps that playing field level for different manufacturers, reduced their overall tax burden and not cost consumers anything. All this while avoiding any harsh ban, you can still buy high sugar drinks if you wish.

- petepete 2y agoNo sensible solutions then, par for the course!
- YurgenJurgensen 2y agoThink about how you’d actually implement that policy. It’d be political suicide. I can see the ‘literally killing children’ headlines already. No law can change anything if it can’t make it through the Commons.
