It sounds good until the governments come begging for more money because their sin tax fund evaporates and they gotta take care of all the older people.

What’s next? Laws banning McDonald’s French Fries?

Yes, but only for slim people.

Almost the same law New Zealand introduced recently. Wnat is the point in having different parties in different countries pushing the exact same agenda?
Also how does this effect the moves towards legalising cannabis?

New govt scrapped it.

It's obviously come from the same source as the UK law. The WEF, WHO or some other unaccountable international organisation.
I don't know when politicians will learn that it is better to persuade people not to do something rather than forcing them not to. They haven't learnt that lesson with drugs.

Ridiculous discrimination.
