Nutrition & Diet Fizzy Drink Tax in the UK - Obesity on the Rise

[Clueless Git]

I come to the conclusion after these complicated sums that we are over ruled by junk addicts.

Basicaly, yes.

It is the same problem that faces strictly vegan businesses; Something that m'self and Anne 'Cherubic' Chovie keep revisiting, that.

If your percentage of the market is, say, 1% (roughly right for vegans?) then the population of your potential customers needs to be 100 times greater than that of an equivelant omni-business.

Mebbe a little off topic but we lost one of our local all-vegetarian restaurants to that equation recently.

They had to add chicken and lamb to their menu or go bust.

Very sad

Same kinda thing you were talking about there.

Healthier food enterprises having to concede to the overwhelming numbers of filth-eaters or cease to exist at all.

That is also the reason why there are few vegan options in supermarkets - few customers and a waste of shelf space !
