no

no, need to tax everyone. I only buy sugar for hummingbirds, doing my best to not consume sugar

Most sugar is refined therefore it should be taxed.

No because sugar is natural. Nature shouldn't be taxed.

No. It is the refining process that makes sugar not good for us. Also adding it to so many different foods that don't require it, does not help any.

It is a personal decision

maybe there could be health warnings on packet of sugar!

I am not sure it would do any good...

There is isn't there? Fellow Australian please help me out :S but either way I'm not sure. what will it achieve? I think it'd just make consumers pay more, and companies to use a substitute, which mightn't be better

Well - yes, if one also believes in the other "sin taxes" (e.g.tobacco and alcohol) If those are deterrents, then national health would be improved by a sugar tax, and the budget could SURE use the help. Beats taking Soc Sec from seniors, eh?
