Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@elenawalker3746 says : How about focusing on GMOs and chemicals they deliberately add into our foods and the damage they do, many are toxic like margarine is one molecule short of being a paint, soda products that contain benzoate a carcinogenic ingredients, aspartame which animals won't touch. Microsoft has just done a deal with Pepsi and Coke to add nanoparticles in their products.>> <<@mal7344 says : The Soft Drinks Don't Have Sugars In Them! They Have High Fructose Corn Syrup In Them The Fermented Remains Of Fungal Secretions It May Be Sweet ... But It Is Not Sugar IT'S CORN SYRUP BAN ALL FORMS OF CORN SYRUP FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION Corn Syrup Causes Cancer>> <<@MarcoNeroDesign says : The article shows Diet Coke which contains ZERO sugar. And we know that the Sugar Tax is going to encompass all soda drinks. Professor Stephen Robson (the man interviewed in this article) implied that this Sugar Tax would impact sugar infused drinks that had no healthy nutritional content. The simple fact remains that Diabetics often triggered their disease in the first place by drinking fruit juice. The human brain requires sugars to function. Normally we obtain glucose and fructose via other means and processed cane sugar is in every bun, burger, salad dressing, ketchup, sauce... it's in all your favorite foods, especially Chinese. Many of your carbs from bread and potatoes break down into sugars. These carbs are more dangerous than the sugar they want to tax. Our western diets are out of control but a bag of fresh salad is still more expensive than a bag of chips. This tax will be abused by all those aboard this gravy train. Why not spend the effort of nutritional education in schools? People should not be denied access to foods via taxation. And medical advice changes... (remember when doctors thought butter and lard lubricated your arteries to keep the blood flowing?). We are still debating whether eggs are good or bad for us. As Mark Twain once famously said: "Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak because a baby can't chew it." I am not a fan of censorship, nor any food tax. They already tax our food... and if the money from such a tax fills the government coffers, there's less incentive to stem the flow.>> <<@XxTheAwokenOnexX says : What else can Governments tax?>> <<@blackcorp0001 says : $9 for a 2 ltr Coke ... GTFO>> <<@blackcorp0001 says : Take away the kids favourites to pay for gambling and drugs ... muppets>> <<@blackcorp0001 says : Adults dont need nannying ... leave us alone you greedy money grubbing abusive parents>> <<@ce9aftw713 says : absolute nonsense>> <<@funfunyo7523 says : F off u grubbs hands off our coin>> <<@Whereareyouthen says : What next , prescription for a pepsi.>> <<@Adam-ie8ed says : What a shit hole this country has become>> <<@arthurdalton517 says : So in another words just tax it to the hillt and then take away choices I think that its a bad idea 😢>> <<@joywest8411 says : Why even consume poison, let alone taxed?? All our Soda was bottled & did not contain any crap or chemicals... they all tasted soooo good!! 😢r.i.p. most of our past Quality products.>> <<@MeredithBell-v3f says : Ama a union for the lowest denominator in health general practitioner 😂😂😂>> <<@kaypendergast5676 says : Artificial sweetners will be bloody EVERYWHERE.... and they are linked to cancer. So the AMA Union who have done such a brilliant job of keeping Australians healthy.... NOT.... are absolutely NOT the people we should be listening to on this topic. It is now $50 out of pocket to see a doctor in Australia for 10 minutes. People in Australia are BROKE.>> <<@MM-uw9hg says : You wont us to pay tax for sugar wen thay yous it az a chep cutting agent ? And wen do we pay for air o thats right carbon tax>> <<@kidsoxoxox says : Broke Grubberment needs more of your pitiful wages for Commberra Palaces and Bureaucrats Salaries, so cough up Serfs.>> <<@daniels6561 says : I like how he said it would take years before there is proof that this is true. 2:06>> <<@sherizuech6562 says : I think this is a white hat op to get us off the poison. I mean if it was a black hat op , they want us sick soooo think about it.>> <<@Howard-j6e says : Remember when the WW2 vets went to w a r with their government over a 2% tax on orange juice and won their township back for the people? What happened to us.>> <<@lindac446 says : So people SIT at computer or on phones, eating, drinking sugary drinks, alcohol etc ... and they get fat, get diabetes etc .... AND that means the obvious culpret is the sugar? Seriously? Another socialitist-liberal idea to control people, reduce personal rights, reduce RESPONSIBILITY for their ChoicES ... not just sugar!>> <<@claypoole702 says : Effective for what? Conformity? At some point they are going to create one tax too many and finally spur people to Liberate themselves from these types of controls.>> <<@Nancy_the_Baker says : Sugar gets replaced by fake sugars. Look at the US. We all got fat after sugar embargo.>> <<@bullyfrog6771 says : What a great way to force people to live life the government way!!!>> <<@calistrash1776 says : Fighting diabetes by taking more of your hard earned dollars 👍>> <<@joe1fick2 says : I highly doubt that the lower sugar amounts in the UK have anything to do with a sugar tax. Various local businesses, state governments, and the fed government have tried this in USA; doesn't work. Especially when the same government is pushing unhealthy fake meat crap. Also study after study actually show that the diet soda options are worse for you then regular. Another dubious fact he uses is that "what you eat as a child, you eat as an adult". This is hardly true, unless you have been mentally or physically stunted growth wise.>> <<@WondersChannel says : Yes let's take the UK as an example - people just pay more for safe sugar drinks because some of us don't wish to ingest weird chemicals that are not safe for human consumption. Just go down to Tesco and see the stacks and stacks of Diet Coke left next to the nearly sold out safe Coke.>> <<@ChrisM-fz6xx says : People are fat and get diabetes type 2 because they eat too much and don't exercise , you idiot . Medical Professor and you don't know that ? Any Quack on Earth will tell you the same thing . Diet and Exercise .FFS .The answer to everything , more Tax .How about educating people to stop eating like Pigs and get off their Fat Arse and go for a Walk .>> <<@YouShouldThink4Yourself says : Tax Tax TAx TAX TAx F.OFF Government YOU are NOT there to tell me what or how to eat. And don't tell me it's to keep the population healthy reducing the strain on the health system, you don't f'n well fun the health system to even con=ver EMERGENCIES. I'm SICK of Government interference in our lives. If you didn't spend Spend SPEnd SPEND and Grow GRow GROW and waste WASte WASTE you wouldn't have TAX TAX TAX.>> <<@Reecedoak4140 says : Oh no look out he said water is free next tax is to tax tap water and it’s usage not like it’s cheap anyway>> <<@onlythaclonessir2525 says : Liar ( you are the pin cushion problem )>> <<@nomyafiftyonefifty8081 says : Same story 3 times in 4 hours.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️>> <<@megasquirrel7944 says : Cut back taxes.>> <<@forshame2002 says : Effective at replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners increasingly linked to diabetes and cancer?>> <<@ge_mail says : Will they discount sugar free products? No .. because it is a tax scam!>> <<@onbailup says : Oohhh...will somebody think of the children, Beware of the Great Medical Nanny State.>> <<@la7418 says : Do we need a sugar tax? I would suspect that not many people can even buy these products now with cost of living crisis. Lucky I can only afford to drink water these days …it won’t effect me!>> <<@nomyafiftyonefifty8081 says : Oh look, yet ANOTHER " professor ".🙄>> <<@nomyafiftyonefifty8081 says : Sounds like we are living in a dictatorship more and more every day.>> <<@nomyafiftyonefifty8081 says : Oh are your " freedoms" being taken away one by one??>> <<@Conky769 says : So these idiots are going to tax us- instead of making fresh food cheaper.>> <<@andreas3084 says : They did this in the uk and it hasn't helped anyone 😂 everything just goes up in price overnight. No government has the right to tell people what they can eat. Australia please dont fall for this>> <<@Pet-rf6rh says : Tax people who don't exercise.>> <<@Pet-rf6rh says : They want to tax people who consume products in a responsible way and don't become diabetic and obese.>> <<@gd7389 says : If you think any politician gives a stuff about your life or health you need real help. This is only about ripping off huge amounts of money in tax to feed ding bat parasites like this clown. In the year 2020 Bb (before biden) i paid $10.50 for a 24 pack of pepsi. Now its $28. Stopped me drinking it altogether. Beer has become cheaper. Lol>> <<@phishENchimps says : Remember who this bloke is when the sugar industry gets hurt.>> <<@phishENchimps says : There is even more evidence and proof that individuals are capable of spending their money in a more efficient manner than Governments. Governments are people who suck at handling their money so through force and threat, they steal yours.>> <<@martinepstein3332 says : Just use common sense on your sugar consumption>> <<@christopherabbott5556 says : Tax is to pay for infrastructure and services, not to manipulate behaviour.>> <<@xxxneoxxx says : Some of us need sugar to survive and us type 1 diabetics need it occasionally in order to correct lows. humans need sugar in order to survive, everything in moderation. Without it we die, so take care of your pancreas and how about talking about diet and people needing to be responsible with their intake. This is the same as taxing oxygen and nitrogenz how about we put a meter on that too? This is Queensland for you. Nanny states, just be better people FFS.>>
