Fat Tax

Additional Information

Why not kill three birds with one stone, increasing the health of the population, saving money for the NHS and raising additional tax to reduce the deficit ?
Vast amounts of money are spent on fizzy drinks, biscuits,sweets, crisps and similar snacks and unhealthy processed foods. None of these items are of nutritional value and are expensive, fattening , unhealthy luxuries. Instead of 3p on a litre of fuel, which helps to drive economic growth, please tax these items heavily instead. This will hurt no-one !
