National Day Rally 2017: Soft drinks to pack less sugar to cut diabetes risk
Click HERE
Certain primary schools have already phased out the sale of sugary drinks in the school caneens...
Note other planned mesaures to reduce sugar intake:
-labelling
-sugar tax to make sugary drinks more expensive
-downsize portions (no more Big Gulp!)
and dont forget the push to replace or mix white rice with brown rice -- one bowl of white rice is euqivalent to two cans of soft drinks in terms of the sugar content....and eating white rice (while not exactly sweet like sugar) has the same effect as eating sugar....
Note how NTUC has pledged to offer discounts on brown rice to encourage healthier options...
Qns:
1. How effectively is public health promoted and managed in your society? (Cam. 2015)
2. To what extent should the state be allowed to intervene in the private affairs of its people?
