@btharris93 you'll pay a bit more or drink less of them. Fizzy drinks are hardly a vital food group. -
@JuliaHB1@btharris93 nor is cappuccino but you let Starbucks pay very little tax

@FergusMason1 because otherwise you'll end up paying a lot more for the NHS treatment for those morons' obese kids -
@JuliaHB1 Sugar tax has been tried in numerous places and does not work. Pushes substitutes like Aspartame that are far worse.

@JuliaHB1 perhaps we can make healthier food cheaper? 1 litre of fizzy pop(55p) is cheaper than a pack of 5 gala apples(£1.50). Tescos. -
@phil_bembridge fizzy drinks are far more expensive than water. They are not comparable with apples. -
@JuliaHB1 point taken. supermarket brand Double concentrate no added sugar squash is also cheaper than fizzy pop.

@stevetierney@JuliaHB1 Only on the basis that their lack of proper parenting and choices doesn't cost the taxpayer -
@Stewart4Pboro
@JuliaHB1 Parents who give their kids Pepsi and Fanta aren't "proper parents?" Wow. Sweeping. -
@stevetierney @Stewart4Pboro no, I think it's a fair statement that people who give their kids fizzy drinks every day are not good parents
