Should Sugar Be Regulated?

This article includes for detail from the side suggesting regulation and taxation of sugar. Laura Schmidt said that they are "talking about gentle ways to make sugar consumption slightly less convenient, thereby moving people away from concentrated dose." She also said that she wanted to make other, healthier foods, easier and cheaper to get in comparison. France, Greece, and Denmark all have taxes on soda, and 20 cities in the United States are looking to follow their lead. Some conclude that "the regulation of sugar is difficult [because] many consider it a necessary vice." There are "cultural and celebratory aspects of sugar," and "changing these patterns is very complicated" said Clair Brindis.
