Eating sugary foods reduces stress and adds to the enjoyment of life.
There are psychological benefits to 'comfort eating' that in some cases vastly outweigh the negative effects of eating sugar.
I'm going to campaign for a sugar subsidy to make it cheaper for stressed people everywhere to enjoy chocolate and fizzy drinks.

Using Infidels logi regarding being fat is a choice..
Sports injuries - NHS no longer pay for
Work injuries - NHS no longer pay for
Both are the results of informed choices. You ran 5 miles when you didn't have to.... You chose a career using ladders....
For.the scientific view read this - The global obesity pandemic: shaped by global drivers and local environments. It's from The Lancet and part of a special supplement on obesity. All four articles are worth a flick through if you are so incliined.

Tears may be encouraged but what about those who have the ability to cry naturally when they feel emotion.
Nadiya was a wonderful moment she did not strain tears out for the purpose of good tv that was her as she is after a few weeks of pressure winning the British bake off title.
People who cry are no different to those who do not i balled my eyes out for three weeks when my mum died two of my brothers barely shed a tear and we all loved her exactly the same.
Crying is not the winner but feeling absolutely nothing within that is not a good thing , I think if you feel nothing when you see tragic events occuring around the world you are missing something that i think is inately human I am not saying you are not human but that you may have been programmed badly by those around you and by what you have learnt since childhood.

It's a difficult one. You would like to think that people should make their own informed choices. Unfortunately most of their information comes from Marketing.
The health issues arising from diet are very significant. It has an impact regardless of the nature of the health system in any country.

'Au contraire, you will not know how she feels. You might think you know, especially you, but unless you are a women and a mother you will definitely not know how she feels.
A headier mix of faux-compassion and deliciously unconscious sexism would be difficult to find.

Mallard it is unclear at this stage how much the tax would earn or whether it would change behaviours.

If I were you mate, when presented with an argument that you don't like but can't actually dispute, I would just resort to name-calling and stereotyping.
Actually, I wouldn't, but you always do and I like to make you feel better. You are, after all, entirely saintly.

Oliver's lack of self-awareness is astonishing. He claims to already enforce a sugar tax on soft drinks at his own restaurants and he quite possibly does.
However, he seems unaware of the inconvenient fact that the meals he serves contain sugar as well as the equally naughty fat and salt in quite mammoth quantities. He also seems blissfully unaware that his clientele, who can afford his extortionate proces, couldn't give a fuck if they have to pay an extra 20p for their cola.
In his typically middle-class way, he think that the working class are a lumpen mass, thick and unable to think for themselves and have to be nannied by wealthy, celebrity lefties such as himself.
And all the while the lives of the poor will be made just a little more miserable as even a glass of cherryade is priced beyond their budget.
