EC 44: The Sugar Tax Thought Experiment

Apr 13, 2018

On 6th April this year, the UK introduced a sugar tax. In this episode I explain why I think it is a double-edged sword…as well as give you a thought experiment that I hope will help put you off having it in the first place!

Find out:

• Why it is a doubled edged sword
• Why this levy is a breeding ground for complacency
• How you can use the idea of tax (pain at the point of purchase) to help you stop buying so much sugar junk
• The non-monetary, less tangible ways that sugar taxes your thinking, emotions and physical health
