Sugar Tax

First the sugar tax, now they're making chocolate bars smaller. :(

I swear this has actually been happening for years though? Micro bars are commonplace now...

What does pol think?

Vice taxes are redpilled, though they should be used to simply reduce other taxes like income tax.

The Swiss are behind this...

How about taxing fat people instead? People need to take some responsibility for themselves.

Fear the power of mighty Kraut!

Choco bars are becoming smaller as costs are rising so instead of raising prices they make the product smaller.

So I'll have to pay the same price for worse products because fat fucking asses can't eat properly? That's bullshit. Do something with it, UK

A good idea actually
Fat people are a burden on society.

They should also be charged tripple for airplane tickets, transport and electricity.
Why have the slim people to pay more because there's a lard ass on the plane?

Also they are a reason for global warming, they eat so much, all that food took energy and gasoline to produce and infrastructure to deliver.
Kill the fat save the planet.

It's for ((((your own good))))

:))))))))))))))))))

>normies will defend this

Chocolate is degenerate

Stop eating sweets you fucking fat faggots.

No, retard, it's a terrible idea because you gain weight by having a caloric excess, not because you ate sugar or the candy bar was X size.

You could just eat 50 tiny candy bars every day and still end up a fatass. The solution to obesity is simply eating less.

Anyone else stand around the candy section at grocery stores with their matrs and mock fatties. 3/4 end up not buying whatever they wanted the rest buy it and have a rant.

>What does pol think?
The price will either stay the same or increase regardless of ``candy bar'' size.

>whole society has to pay for the mistakes of a minority
>A good idea actually
What the fuck Ivan

>now
They've been getting smaller for years, packets as well.

No, seriously, there is something here. For Americans, since we pay taxes for Medicare and medicaid, you could get tax credits for a healthy lifestyle. It needs to be framed as a reward and an incentive rather than a punishment or disincentive to be politically viable. We can even make it seem progressive

> what is a ketogenic diet?

Calories are not equal. kys

it's not about sugar

chocolate rations increasing are about inflation and rising costs in afrinig countries

they're selling it as sugar (which is aids) as a way to placate populations for now

imagine if people think that chocolate is shrinking because of weak economies.

Any law that regulates personal behaviour for the 'public good' is evil.
Medical science isn't science, because usually it can't be reproduced. For example, fatty foods like beef and eggs are actually good for you.
And someday, they'll come after you.

How much longer until we're paying a full dollar for cuck sized bars?

>make it seem progressive
Socialism is already called 'progressive'.
Sadly for you, it always fails.

Keto is a meme for dumbfuck retards who want something "special". For all intents and purposes, a calorie is a calorie.

the fact is welfare doesn't work

everyone except for those who have issues - and should be sterilized, should work

in reality - if you don't accept that people can die of an infection without any help, then EVERYONE must be mandated insurance, and that cost of insurance is tied to stats, just like car insurance

but the poor will never pay - and they are the ones spending welfare on soda - because they are LESSER BEINGS

no other reason

there's help for everyone

they are shit tier

we all know this

so

STOP THEM HAVING KIDS

That's what I thought too. In this cruel capitalistic world nothing encourages people to do things better than money. Tax credits for being healthy isn't a bad idea

..... communism is coming back?

lol, i remember 40 years ago in Polska is was quite similar, everything needed to be cut down, because

>sry no more money

What's next?
Empty shops, everything will be bought on food stamps? :D

yay EU :D

a calorie is a calorie is a calorie

except if you're not a fat fuck and you're losing weight

if you're eating more calories than you're burning

a calorie is a calorie is a calorie

if you're burning more than you're eating

then you can further help yourself store less fat

NOTE THE DISTINCTION THAT IN 22 QUADRILLION HOURS OF THE INTERNET HASN'T BEEN FUCKING ADDRESSED

22 quadrillion hours of internet and nobody fucking talks about that

> I swear this has actually been happening for years though? Micro bars are commonplace now...

It has, especially since the recession since shops don't want to increase prices, so manufactures are forced to offer less product for the same price and in the same container to make them look like you are still paying for the same product. But if you look at the net weights, you see stupid shit like 38g or 16.5g. It's complete bullshit, both the product shrinking and this new tax.

B-but what about the (((metabolically disprivileged)))

The fuck are you talking about. A calorie is a calorie, always.

The only thing is I bet the price stays the same.
Thanks jews!

a calorie is a calorie

you can't just say it's half

>Tax credits for being healthy isn't a bad idea
It is, because no one knows what the good choices are.
Being from a communist country, you're used to the idea of the State deciding this for you, and that's fine, but it would never work in a free country.
Medicine isn't a science. It's an art.

We think, therefore, that it’s worth paying attention to a new study in PLOS ONE, “A Survey on Data Reproducibility in Cancer Research Provides Insights into Our Limited Ability to Translate Findings from the Laboratory to the Clinic,” by a group of MD Anderson researchers. They found that about half of scientists at the prominent cancer hospital report being unable to reproduce data in at least one previously published study.

I think having X body fat %, X lbs of muscle mass per inch of height, X heart rate while running etc. could be objectively measured and considered "healthy".

Fat shits are already charged for two airline seats IIRC

Just measure body fat % like Japan does. What you eat is irrelevent for weight provided you get the calorific value right, it'll just be bad for you in other ways to only eat 1600 calories of pasta or something whilst losing weight.

If you have low body fat and get food poisoning, you'll have a lot of later-life health problems and die younger with more medical expenses.
So where would that fit in to your ideals?

>needed 50p for Jewish air compressor in the garage
>thought I'd by a chocolate bar with a pound
>all 55p
>ended up buying 16p paracetamol

It's cos were ALL OBESE and have type 2 diabetes. The strain on NHS is too great.

The chocolate used to taste better in the past.

Better style, fuck try to peel apart the short space in between those. I don't care what I'm sacrificing, efficient and better product.

>I don't know what carbs are
dumb shit.

>tries using large words to seem intelligent
>still sounds like a complete dumbass
Ladies and gentleman: the typical leftist

Good. Maybe you will stop being so fucking fat.

>Medical science isn't science
Sup Forumsacks everyone

To play the doubles advocate, it's more because he leads a cult of utter spastics that actually do get impressed by that sort of shit.
He's pretty much a scam artist that can't let the persona slip.

Checked.

This. Also, it kills the leftist myth of people being fat because they're poor. That's so asinine that it shouldn't even have gained traction.

Top kek

>If you have low body fat and get food poisoning, you'll have a lot of later-life health problems and die younger with more medical expenses.

Highly improbable. Fit people get food poisoning all the time and are 100% fine like everyone else.

We need a way to stop chronic masturbaters. People who masturbate regularly are a degenerate cancer to society.

>taxes are redpilled
KYS

If you have high body fat and,

I don't need a qualifier,

If you have high body fat period, you'll statistically have a lot of later-life health problems and die younger with more medical expenses.

More fat people will die younger with more health problems from obesity than skinny people will do the same from a food poisoning infection gone badly.

How did you think that wording you used would do anything but backfire?

Came here to say this. Are you me?

Kek
Good one Schneemann

>ywn be an opressed bong

Less sugar for you fat little fuckcunts out there.

Not only this but such measures fail to strike at the root of the problem (ignorance and a mediamachine encouraged to propagate it)

for the best, obesity is too high in our countries.
we're just going to have to get used to buying 4 pound candy bars from now on

It says it's 5 lbs right there in the pic you fag.

>Ameritard

read the op, what is 4/5ths of 5?

youtube.com/watch?v=tIuj-oMN-Fk&t=39s

for anybody who thinks "a calorie is just a calorie"

Insulin is the gatekeeper of weight gain. Insulin is produced when you eat carbohydrate. Sugar is a carbohydrate

Won't this just result in the choc companies getting less sales, or is everyone just chemically addicted to this trash over there?

Also why can't you buy your chocolate in blocks like the rest of us?

>sugar tax based on raw value instead of percentage based on product weight/calorie content
English oppression is simultaneously condescending and legislated by morons. So the 'healthy' candy will be just as sugary, just less per package. So make them half size and half price and nothing changes except you USE MORE PACKAGING BRAVO ENGLAND YOU'VE LEGISLATED MAKING MORE TRASH/LITTER.

Sugar is the perfect food. It is high density, fast acting energy. You don't feel up your stomach with food and look bloated.

I know most of you are too young to remember but Chocolate bars are ALREADY 2-3x smaller than they were in the 90s. And more expensive.

If only fatties put as much effort into running as they did making big words to justify their laziness.

jewed softly

sugar should be taxed according to calories from sugar per total calories.
decreasing portion sizes is just a jewish trick to save companies money
fuck ancaps though. as long as healthcare is socialised, health risks need to be taxed as well. same goes for tobacco

He's not wrong, thought. The lipid hypothesis, from where all the cholesterol bullshit came from, was shown to be bullshit despite it still being taught in Medical schools and being the basis of policy for most governments.

This, it's just the usual "we know what's good for you, citize!" commie bullshit.

Sup Forums will of course celebrate it because they already internalized all the important leftist memes because of their education while kids.

Pop used to be 600ml back in the day. Now it is 591. Slowly they are robbing us.

You don't understand how British people think. The majority of British people have relatively poor health, namely because they are too fat. Having a system like this would discriminate a huge proportion of our population, alongside revealing a key issue on an absolute taboo subject; that the NHS is inherently flawed because it's funded through the tax payer.

There is no solution

>The majority of British people have relatively poor health, namely because they are too fat.
Why is life expectancy increasing then?

Btw, the problem is hormonal, not caloric.

Sugar shouldn't be taxed at all.

If you stay at a stable calorie intake brow the rate you burn them, you lose weight, no matter what you eat.

>The lipid hypothesis
>hypothesis
I guess they used non-scientific methods to show it was bullshit?

Because medical care is easily available

>it's hormonal

Kill yourself

>"pop"

They care so much about obesity, that they increased the VAT on fitness supplements on 2011.

These decisions are never about public health. They are about money.

Just tax fat people.
Why does the (((government))) have to punish normal people for something fat faggots did?

Drink your Victory Coffee, user.

Think about it. Why are people eating more than they need? Why aren't they burning off the surplus fat easily?

Hormones. Just take some testo and see how everything changes.

The problem is definitely hormonal.

This, fat people should pay more into the system they will inevitably take more out of. Taxing everyone just a little won't do shit, take just fat people and tax the shit out of them.

Ah, I understand. The issue is your lack of knowledge of English. You seem to be under the impression anything calling itself a science has the same validity for some weird reason. Not to worry, I am sure you'll get the grasp of this weird thing call English in no time.

Fat people are disgusting. I support this.

>Because medical care is easily available
>in the UK
You jest.

As soon as ANY government sponsored healthcare is introduced, I'm all for vice taxes subsidizing it. I don't eat shit, drink, smoke, watch porn, or do drugs. By biggest vice is caffeine I get from pre-workout cycles.

I also strongly think we should put cigarette-tier warning labels on junk food.

What are you on about?

>cholesterol is bad!
>cholesterol is actually the main ingredient your body uses to produce testosterone/estrogen
>society is now lowT/lowE cucked
Thanks Jews.

Will the prices drop by a fifth?

Sounds like government sponsored profiteering to me.
People who are going to eat too much chocolate are going to eat too much chocolate.

Or we could just make people pay for their healthcare.

So all those years of eating bacon and sausages are what helped my gains?

People said the same thing about fat 50 years ago I don't understand why people are making the same mistake by demonising carbohydrates

ITT: fat people

to answer OP: just skip out the middleman and tax fat people directly for being a drain on healthcare

along with other degenerates like smokers and fags with aids

Cut the sugar, fatass. It's not healthy for you anyways.

fuck candy bars, they are for fat cunts and kids

vice taxes are awful.

It will end up that if you drink anything but water you are taxed heavily
If you eat anything processed you are taxed heavily
If you smoke, jaywalk or do illicit drugs you suffer asset forfeiture
If you don't run 10km a day and can't do 10 chinups at the government exercise test you are removed from the medical system
If you watch tv or use the internet not for creating income you're are taxed so heavily you keep one dollar in a hundred.

Just fuck off nanny state.

all those things are good you fat fuck.

stop eating unhealthy

You are using pol. for non income purposes please ceed 99% of your income dumbass
