Comment on Tony Blair says junk food should be made too expensive for the poor to afford through new sugar and salt taxes to tackle obesity

Better also reduce the cost of healthier food, ya dickhead.
I’ve thought that for years. Tax the high sugar/fat/alcohol stuff and use 100% of that tax to subsidise fresh fruit and veg.
that will just become profit for supermarkets. even if you legislate maximum prices for certain foods, it will still become profit for supermarkets but the quality will be reduced.
