Regrann from @slowfood_international - Yesterday, the UK government introduced a new levy on manufacturers for drinks with more than 8g of sugar per 100ml, following the lead of similar legislation in France, Mexico and Norway. An aptly timed move, given that today the @who marks World Health Day, and that sugar is an important factor in many preventable medical conditions such as obesity and type-2 diabetes. Whether or not the levy will have the same success in the UK as in Mexico, remains to be seen, but it is an important moment of recognition that, as with many things, we need to be intelligent and moderate the sugar content in our food and drink. #worldhealthday #slowfood #foodforchange #eatlesseatbetter #health #sugar - #regrann
