I agree it is shocking that sugar drinks are being targeted only. Am sure the deserts in Mr Oliver's restaurants contain far more salt and sugar than fizzy drinks. The soft drinks industry is the only ones to actually cut back on sugar unlike cakes,breads etc. Obviously more details will be released closer to the time this tax comes about.
Let's be honest how many people actually blames soft drinks for 100% of the obesity in this country? It's all about moderation.
Barrs will come up with something am sure and anyway if everyone only drank sugar free, Barrs would love that as the profits would be through the roof on the savings on sugar.
