Sweet!
So the sugar tax comes into effect today. Great move there by the government in a move to curb obesity and tooth decay.
What's not so great is all the fat shaming that comes with the publicity. I swear I speak for every fatty out there that we're all sitting on the edge of our seats watching the news praying out loud "Dear BBC please don't let it be my rolls of blubber or my stonking great big lardy arse that you filmed (but had the courtesy to chop me off at the neck so as not to be identified as anything other than just a big fat blubbery thing) as I was walking, well more like waddling down the High Street with a McDonald's in my left hand and a Mars Bar chaser in my right.
Take it from me Mr Minister of Sugars and All Things Sweet, you'll not be making any money out of us lardies with your new tax, we don't drink Full Fat Fizz - nah, we wash our Greggs pasties and doughnuts down with the sugar-free stuff don't we silly. Der!
But thanks for the shaming. That'll really help.
I'm all for this sugar levy and the sooner that the scheme is expanded to include the often misleadingly labelled fruit juices, the better. And the pictures on the news: show parents the shocking pictures of the rotten teeth children are having to have removed, instead of the "here we go again here's another fat old bird" film stock - it'll likely have more impact.
*No innocent fatties were shamed during the making of this blog, that blubber is the author's own.
