The sugar tax on soft drinks caused manufacturers to swap sugar for artificial sweeteners, which we are now learning aren t as safe as we thought, but they re being consumed by children by the ton.

No I would not support this. There’s enough taxation flying about and the industry is already taxed as a sugar levy. It won’t be long until we start getting taxed for breathing.

All depends on at what level of salt and sugar in a product that it would begin to incur taxation. Manufacturers would strive to get below this level and avoid the taxation. As for the general public, like smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol it could be a discretionary tax. If you don t want to pay the tax, don t buy the product that incurs the tax.
