Sugar intake in Norway is at a nearly 50 year low. Is the tax a money grab for the government disguised as a deterrent, or good faith attempt to entice the population to eliminate sugary drinks and excess in food? Municipalities in the USA have been trying to legislate this on the people. I believe NYC was interested in some sort of tax or outright ban on sugary drinks. Obviously, the companies with a stake in game would disagree, but is this fair to everyone, including bakers, restaurants, stores, citizens, etc... will it have the desired long term effect on health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and weight gain?
The Guardian has this article in today's read:
[Norwegian sugar consumption tumbles]

The Norwegian sugar tax, is it better for your health or more of a money grab?
By it's very definition, probably both.
But whether it will reduce the sugar consumption of those who really need to reduce it is perhaps doubtful.

Norway has got the best health care system in the world. No wonder there is a high tax on stuff that makes you end up in hospital, with a long and expensive (for the system, not for you) care, like alcohol, tobacco, sugar etc.

Is health care free for all citizens or is there a payroll tax on each workers paycheck?
