By all means develop a policy around the suggested topic, just don’t slap it on the people but on the manufacturers. As long as those foods are allowed to bombard our markets with their products which are cheap as chips, the less wealthy don’t have the same options as others. Education and not necessarily in the schools, has to be the better choice. Programs for healthier options which include community gardens would be an option. All govt agencies must work together with local agencies to provide a better outcome for success instead of punishing the poor, uneducated and health poor people

Anything that can be done to improve health and oral health needs to be done.

Focus on core business and stop this passion for wasting resources and attempting to gain control over every aspect of peoples’ lives. People generally just want to be left alone to make their own choices in life.

Another nanny state “we know what’s right for you” mindset. It is OUR individual responsibility to choose and consume what is right for ourselves. Those individuals, whom this policy is aimed at, will not be put off by it but those of us who drink sugar drinks in moderation, without health side-effects, will be penalised.
Sugar drinks have been around forever but people today do not take responsibility for themselves and their families. Same goes for the fluoridation push. That is not the council’s role.
