Not everybody in the UK is obese and we all deserve a treat once in a while, instead we should be teaching people to live a healthy lifestyle and eat a healthy diet. People don't want to be controlled about what they should and shouldn't eat. A tax would affect the whole country including those who live and eat more healthily, everything in moderation is the right way to go.
