Junk Food Tax To Stop Obesity.

The government say that if fast food items are more expensive then less people will buy it more often. This should take down to level of obesity massively as fast food is one of the main reasons it exists in the first place.
But it isn't just McDonalds and Burger King, things like Haribo and other sweets will also be affected along side fizzy drinks such as Coca-Cola.

More than 10 million people in the UK are obese and 30,000 die each year from problems caused by their weight.

Researchers claim a tax on unhealthy foods could cut the number of deaths from heart disease by almost 3,000 a year.

There are no plans to bring the tax in yet and these are only suggestions at this stage.
