Petition Fat Tax

More details

Stop the government taxing sweets, cakes and similar.
The idea that any particular food is bad for you is out of date and simplistic. A balanced diet can include snacks and treats - moderation is the key.
Fat tax would hit lower income families who already spend a higher proportion of their income on food and drink. It's not just the sweet stuff, it's the amount/quantity of other foods certain people eat.
