Yeah nah the health lobby has been pushing this for years. Meanwhile they're rolling out vaping laws that do nothing. Just another talkfest.
facts. but the industry has politicians in their pocket. look at the donations
literally anyone with a brain can see we're being poisoned by junk food ads and sugar lobbyists. but nah let's keep letting companies profit while kids get diabetes
Easy for desk jockeys to say. Try running a small biz when every new regulation bleeds you dry. We're already taxed to death.
get stuffed. small biz already pays enough. you want mcdonalds? they're the problem not the corner store
ffs another report. How many thousands of lives could've been saved if they actually did something instead of releasing more papers

I've seen what sugar does to my nephews. It's heartbreaking. We need real action not just talk. Support this 100%

lol the comments getting spicy already. i just want to know if this means they're finally gonna tax fizzy drinks
nah they'll slap a tax on it and call it a win. classic nz
Onya Aotearoa. Meanwhile my local dairy has vapes and pies at the counter. Priorities eh
mate you're part of the problem
Worked in food manufacturing for 15 years. The amount of sugar they cram in is obscene. But people still buy it so what's the incentive to change?
