World-renowned chef Jamie Oliver has won another important battle. This time the culinary celebrity managed to fight for sugar tax in the UK to help fight obesity, which has been a serious problem in recent years.
Plans for the new tax were announced these days by Finance Minister George Osborne at the presentation of the state budget to the House of Commons, and Britain is expected to introduce a tax on sweetened soft drinks in two years. According to initial information, the plans are for the tax to be on two levels and will be influenced by the amount of sugar in the drinks.
Most likely in the future the price of Coca Cola of 330 ml will jump by nearly eight pence. Some increase is expected in the value of some smoothies, cocktails, energizing drinks and more.
Thanks to the tax, around £ 520m will be raised in the first year, with part of the amount to be used to promote healthy lifestyles in schools. It is planned to build sports facilities with them, through which young people can move more.
As many know, Jamie Oliver has long fought for a healthier diet for humanity. The culinary expert is of the opinion that carbonated drinks in all their variations play a huge role in the weight problems that modern teenagers face more and more often.
After the news of the new tax was announced, an Air Force team filmed the reaction of the famous chef. The video shows him literally starting to dance to express his happiness.
However, not all people welcomed Jamie's behavior. Many of his judges were also found to have declared him a hypocrite, saying that the recipes he prepared also contained a lot of sugar. For his loyal fans, however, there is no doubt that he is fully committed to his causes, as he has been fighting for the health of young people for years.
