They're called the Sugar National Party (SNP).

I was referencing the Boston Tea Party. You know... Throw the sugar in the bay, to reject the taxes. IDK. I'm high.

Me and him spoke about this once, I think when we met up, and he said it has actually worked. Sugar consumption is down.

Personally, I don't mind a bit of cheeky state intervention to get the country a bit healthier. Beats getting diabetes!

Yes. I reversed my diabetes by cutting out sugar and carbs.

I'm not wholly opposed to a sugar tax if it is targeted at added sugar (such as in fizzy drinks, cakes etc) but if they start applying it to sherbet lemons, syrup or peanut butter I'll be furious.

I think sugar taxes are generally aimed towards added sugar.

We should just get it over with and ban sugar. Public healthcare cannot exist in a world where everyone is eating sugar, sugar is gonna destroy public healthcare.

6 months ago. And once you are diagnosed, you are never truly "cured". You can reverse it through diet and exercise and live as if you never had it, BUT if you go back to eating sugar and lots of carbs again, the effects can return.

6 months ago was when you were diagnosed or when you were "cured"?

Diagnosed. Since then, I have reversed it through diet and exercise. My blood sugar levels are normal again.

How long did it take you to reverse it? Did a doctor give you an official un-diagnosis (and if so, when)
Congratulations
