<<The U.K. should adopt a broad tax on sugar and salt sales and improve food equality as poor diets take a toll on the economy and people’s health, recommendations in a government-commissioned review show.>> Well, I have to admit the truth (really!) It was Gordan Brown and Tony Blair who finally made me give up tobacco. By increasing the taxes on it. Gordon Brown selling the countries gold made the impetous a double whammy. There is not enough logic and reason to give up an addiction like tobacco or many other things. One needs a helping hand usually. Hate sustains a man, used in the right context. If I felt my will begin to falter, I would watch this little movie scene (see below) The end of the movie scene, when the hero returns on deck, he walks over those who are still slaving away in the galley. That is the compassion I feel when I see someone still addicted to tobacco. There isn't much I can do about it, except to say encouraging words if requested. I am a pound or two overweight... so I say to the British Government do it. Make my day! Mac D's should not mind as their beef bergers are just pure beef these days. They might want to check whats going into the bun though -g- There is the spectacle of their being a black market in salt and sugar though. That would be appalling of course. Here is Gordon putting the tax up on Alcohol and Tobacco, just when I didn't need it, during the darkest of dark days. and the victory scene is when Ben climbs back on the victorious Roman vessel and looks down in to the galley looking at the slaves still rowing away. Can't find that just now so this will have to do. I have it downloaded on my old PC's somewhere.
