Negative health effects of sugar-sweetened beverages are well established. Taxes on sugary drinks are effective instruments for reducing their consumption and represent a demonstrably effective preventive measure: zenodo-org.translate.goog/records/1964... #Sugar #Taxation #SugarTax #Health #Obesity

The chap from the opaquely funded IEA complaining about the #SugarTax on the news last year had real ‘waa waa waa I want my milkshake‘ man-baby energy.

Why do we take these think tanks seriously?

This is the clearest visual demonstration i've seen of how a clear commitment to a future policy, incentivises industry to react. From @martinwhite33.bsky.social presentation on #SDIL #sugartax, and impact on reformulation.

Hesse says it will oppose Germany’s planned tax increases on sparkling wine, sugar and tobacco.
The pushback threatens to complicate Berlin’s effort to pair a €2.5 billion fuel tax cut with higher consumer levies.

Fuck the #SugarTax!
The UK Government are now planning on extending the sugar tax to include milk based drinks.
Wouldn't mind drinks companies being encouraged to use a bit less sugar, but what they actually do is replace half the sugar with artificial sweetners. I don't want to drink that shit!

In retrospect, I think I was a bit too hard on SugarTax. There’s some good stuff on there, but this sounds like d:ream or dodgy EuroPop!
