Chief Medical Officer calls for extended sugar and salt bans
21st December 2018
The country's Chief Medical Officer, Dame Sally Davies, wants a ban on adding sugar to baby food, and further taxes to cut the nation's salt and sugar intake. However, the real meat to the report is in looking to 2040, and trying to normalise healthy behaviours. This, in the longer-term is the key to resolving many of the negative consumption externalities associated with our eating and drinking habits.
Students: From an economic perspective - is this the best course of action? Think diagrammatic analysis, pros and cons of taxation, also don’t forget about government failure. https://t.co/p2su0bCRpe
