Something our great leader was thinking about a couple of years ago to make us all fitter IIRC.
Aye, nothing to do with British Sugar's close links to the gov.


For what it's worth I too would choose less sugar than less bees.

Sugar is packed into so many things needlessly. When I make bread I put 0 sugar in it, 3% of warburtons product is sugar ... in fact I just did a quick google and you can all elect me soon : - 12 million loaves sold a day apparently (288million grams of sugar) and one news article I just read says adults across the UK consume 38 million grams of added sugar per day. No accounting for children or even if the article I read is anywhere near the mark for actual current supply, but I reckon if they were forced to stop creeping it into essential products up and down the country no one would notice and nature wouldn't disintegrate.
