The vile puritan scum growing fat on our taxes want to steal even more of our money to keep their fake charity in the manner to which it has become accustomed. Having made little progress in their war on salt, the action group has moved onto sugar and the plaintive cry is remarkably familiar.
A campaign group has called on the UK government to introduce a “sugar tax” to help curb childhood obesity.
Action on Sugar has produced a seven-point plan to discourage children from consuming foods and soft drinks with high levels of added sugar.
The group wants measures brought in to cut added sugar in food by 40% by 2020, to cut fat in foods and to ban sports sponsorship by “junk food” companies.
Sigh… What we eat, drink or otherwise consume is no one’s business but ours. Children are the responsibility of their parents and there is no such thing as an obesity epidemic. There is an epidemic of manipulating figures and using the BMI index (a flawed measurement to start with) to suggest that there is. There is a word for this behaviour and that word is “lying”.
These scumbags are parasites. They feed voraciously off the money extorted from us by the HMRC and they are never satisfied – like the fat kid who just can’t give up crisps and chocolate, they always need more to feed their craving.
The Department of Health has said it will consider the recommendations.
No. What the state should be doing is cutting off their supply of free money. It should cease all charitable funding by the state. Every penny to every charity with immediate effect. Those charities that do genuine good will get support from people who value what they do. Lobby groups such as Action on Sugar will wither and die. This will be a good thing.
A Department of Health spokesman said: “We know some people eat too many calories including sugar. Childhood obesity is at its lowest since 1998 but more should be done.”
Indeed it is and no it shouldn’t. That’s the point. Government should just stop doing things. Stop meddling in our lives and stop listening to obsessive nutters such as Prof MacGregor and his bunch of health fascists.
