English Chef Jamie Oliver says sugar should be taxed just as tobacco

Popular celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver has taken on a campaign against sugar consumption. The English chef in his television campaign said sugar "is the next tobacco" and it should be taxed due to the dangers it poses to health.

Speaking in an interview with Daily Mail UK, the restauranteur added that “Sugar’s definitely the next evil. It’s the next tobacco, without doubt, and that industry should be scared. And it should be taxed, just like tobacco and anything else that can, frankly, destroy lives.”

Chef Oliver is coming at the right time, especially with the emergence of different kinds of unhealthy meals under the guise of pastries and drinks.
