Tesco axe Ribena etc

I hope they remove all of their everyday value confectionary etc - the only reason any of that deal is so cheap is that they remove ingredients and replace it with sugar...

I really don't see the sense in it. They shouldn't ban these things, if people want to buy them, then let them buy them, and a sugar tax is a bad idea too, if anything it will work out like the fat tax they introduced in Denmark, which resulted in people stock piling food with fat content, which then meant people were eating out of date food and becoming sick. Plus, soft drinks are rising in price enough already and I'm not resorting to water, I need variety in my drinks.

Instead of sugar tax, they should not sell high sugar content products to under 12s, and maybe do a background check on people buying loads of sugary food and drinks to make sure they aren't addicted, but I'm not sure how that last point would work out realistically.

Overall, my belief is that thye shouldn't mess with things like this, and let people buy what they want, its not like they have an alcohol tax or tobacco tax.
