If they want to curb sugar intake surely it would make more sense to reduce the levels in soft drinks.Fat people will still consume things which contain fat and other harmful products like beer. Education and less in products is the answer. Otherwise you have to tax sugar, salt, fat and make life impossible for the poor.
