Sugar tax

[Redline]

I've always drunk sugar free soft drinks. But it hasn't stopped me from being 15 stone and having too many fillings.

There was a segment on Radio Bloke a few days ago saying that lots of people put weight on because of drinking zero calorie drinks!
It’s down to the bacteria in your gut reacting differently so you actually take in more sugars and fat anyway.
It kind of makes sense but the drinks companies are still deceiving you in to doing something you think is good for you that isn’t.

In my humble opinion something needs doing, not sure sugar tax will help though, I am seeing more and more obese kids some as young as 3-4 and a s*** load of teenagers, this to me a tantamount to child abuse and the parents should be taken to task,

Real cooking at school mate instead of this PHSE snowflake nonsense. Kids don't know how to cook. The amount of kids in pushchair you see at school with a bag of crisps for breakfast/tea. Better deals on healthy options in supermarkets also.

Agreed on the first bit mate, my 3 have been at several schools and the cooking was virtually none existent. Something to be said for grammar schools though. Oh, PE once a week? We did it every day when I was at school.

None existent cooking classes save you a fortune pal, some weeks it cost us a tenner in ingredients for her classes and the annoying bit is that it also costs £100 a month for the school bus as the grammar school is closer the the school that was in her catchment and that would be free, its worth every penny though as its a cracking school
