Fat Chance: UK Gov't Accused of Sugar Tax Cover-Up

Fizzy drinksA scientific report into tackling the UK's obesity problem, paid for by British taxpayers, has been kept hidden from the public by the British government's Health Secretary.

Jeremy Hunt decided to suppress a report suggesting sugary drinks should be taxed to combat the problem despite one in five children leaving primary school obese.
The Department of Health had resisted calls from health professionals and MPs to publish findings of a scientific review of the link between sugar and childhood obesity. However, details of the review have since been revealed to MPs by Public Health England's (PHE) director of diet and obesity, Dr Alison Tedstone...........

Obviously the government's concern for children's health, physical and dental, is secondary to the needs of the food industry whose priority is profit.
Good job I believe in the law of karma, depressing otherwise
