Why the gently caress would he do this after it’s come out that he’s chased women into the toilets at these events when pissed.

Oh boy. Four Corners is banging the drum about a sugar tax. I used to be for it despite the fact it's regressive as gently caress, but now I'm ambivalent because the evidence hasn't proven it works the way it's meant to. I'm not sure what the government can do about it, though. We're at a point where a large portion (see wut I did thar) of the population live in a noxiously obesogenic environment and I don't see any mechanisms the government can force it out. You can't ban the stuff, and you can't go back to ration books like in world war 2, all the associated industries would go beserk. It's political suicide.

increasing the price of something doesn't make people stop buying it. see: tobacco, alcohol

As a result of the UK soft drink tax manufacturers put a lot less sugar in their drinks. Whether that leads to lower consumption of sugar remains to be seen but it's a good start.bell jar posted:increasing the price of something doesn't make people stop buying it. see: tobacco, alcohol I agree, we shouldn't price carbon emissions.

Lid posted:Preeeeeeetty sure smoking and drinking rates are down in Australia, worldwide not so much I can only wonder how much of that is a price thing vs a cultural thing? Can still get cheap booze of some description in most places if you really want it. Tobacco on the other hand shows that crippling the marketing for a product, basically, is ridiculously effective. Smoking isn't something all the movie stars and celebrities do now, it's your dorky parents and gross old people. And all the cool kids are smoking weed anyway.

It's funny watching the fat cats actually buy into their own 'job creator' myth, which seems like no faster way of discrediting it.

I'm the first to admit I'm a fat nerd on the internet (surprise, I'm a goon). The lady on the show did have a point - we have an alcohol strategy why don't we have an obesity one? Probably because the answers are (hurrr) unpalatable.

I'd fully support a sugar tax if 100% of the proceeds went to programs to improve the health of the poorest parts of society. But that'll never happen cause they'll just use the extra money to fund tax cuts to the rich or politician wage increases.

Doctor Spaceman posted:I agree, we shouldn't price carbon emissions. ah yes carbon emissions, that regular product that consumers can purchase for their consumption at their leisure i'd like to see any info that shows alcohol consumption in this country going anything but up (increased drink prices at bars leading people to buy cheaper alcohol from places like dan murphys, get slaughtered on pre drinks and then go out to save money) increased prices on cigarettes stops people from being able to afford them easily, but i would argue that a decrease in tobacco consumption is directly related to bans on tobacco advertising, health warnings, and plain packaging. arguably an increase in price along with those measures helps reduce purchasing of tobacco but ultimately it just shifts all that purchasing to a black market instead (black market tobacco in this country is fuckin booming my friends)

Also there is a lot of research that demonstrates that fat shaming does not help people get healthier in case anyone wasn't just shitposting about it.
