Is (say) a 20% levy on sugar based products really going to stop or discourage people buying them? I don't think so. They'll just face higher shopping bills.
A bag of sugar is a quid in the shops. Frankly I wouldn't bat an eyelid if it was £2, it's just a kitchen staple that gets put in the trolley along with everything else.
Is such a tax workable or of any tangible benefit?
