@BernardKeane Where would cold pressed juice fit in to such a tax regime? Sugar drink or not? Could the smug after-taste be taxed?

@BernardKeane why is gambling tax "efficient" but this is not? If this changes behaviour (evidence says it does) then it's worthwhile. -
@rasmousse I was speaking from a revenue raising POV, not behavioural change POV

@BernardKeane The revenue raised would be most valuable for innovation mkting, tax cuts for the struggling rich, & more helicopter rides. -
@64by4@BernardKeane When do we stop legislating against peoples' stupidity? -
@LarryShort777@BernardKeane I think a tax by itself is ineffective. Public awareness progs and research into obesity in NZ's best bet -
@64by4@BernardKeane There has been enough "awareness and education" programmes. DUMBASS people just don't listen. -
@LarryShort777@BernardKeane some won't, some will, but it's about tackling a damaging & costly problem in the most effective way..
