With growing number of obese kids, this is what they think of. How will they impose? Tax will be imposed to soft drinks companies. And the amount of sugar on each drink will the basis--whether import or produced. The cash raised will be spent on doubling funding for sport in primary schools. Isn't that great? Making the young ones healthier? What do you think? P.S. Thanks Jamie.Oliver.

Sorry that is taking away your rights and choices--do you want the government to tell you what kind of bed to sleep on because one might be healthier than the other? Where does the parent's or individual's decision to do what is good for them come into place?
