Take the sugar out of the products and let the consumer add his own from the 25lb bag that cost him $5.99 at any grocery store. Drop the price as it would be cheaper to produce.

Not only should you pay a sugar tax but also you should pay our sugar tax as well.
Define 'our'.

It shows the Government is just as broke as they were when the 'terrorists' were called 'Pirates'. Just like ISIS most came from the UK. What a funky coincidence eh?

Just as pernicious, too.

Well spotted.

The opposite is the reality. Chickens are kept in the light, they don't eat in the dark. Keeping the lights on keeps them feeding which makes them grow incredibly fast and lay more eggs

It's not natural.
Chickens raised that way lay more eggs but the eggs are smaller. Thus the need to buy more eggs! See how that works?
Chickens need to 'free-range' to lay healthy eggs. They need grit to make the eggshells the right consistency.

Isn't anyone tired of the gov. telling us what we can eat and do? Where they should be dictating is all the chemicals that are added to our food. We have no control over that, they are also in all the products we use.
This is another tax grab, don't forget we are money bags without a bottom!

It is more about big biz getting control of all the food so we have no choice but to eat what they produce.
