Can a sugar tax improve public health?
Even if it can, is it the right thing to do?One of New Zealands foremost health scientists, Mike Berridge, teams up with tax expert Lisa Marriott to explore the issue.
This BWB Text explains the relationship between sugar and ill-health, and explores how taxes can reduce peoples sugar intake. It draws on research and case studies from around the world, including Denmark, Mexico and the Pacific. With New Zealand now the third most obese nation in the OECD, Berridge and Marriotts discussion is a timely addition to a contentious debate.
