    Fair point. I get that this isn’t aimed at me. I’m not a sugar fiend. But the big food manufacturers will just replace it with artificial sweeteners, which to me at least taste awful. I used to enjoy the odd Fentimans Ginger Beer, but now it tastes like hand soap and all I can thing about is that Godfather meme… “look how they massacred my boy” 😥

      Same here. I don’t consume a lot of sugar, but I hate the taste of sweetners. My personal viewpoint is that the law just made a bunch of thing I used to like inedible but didn’t change my sugar intake at all.

      Overall the law just made everyone consume more sweetners and the companies making the products increase their products. All this back patting is all about profits, not public health.
