“The ‘metabolic syndrome’ maladies associated with insulin resistance and obesity – many authorities now just use the term ‘diabesity’ – are expected soon to overtake tobacco as the leading cause of heart disease in the world. And perhaps of cancer, too.   Farmer Mike Small has high hopes for the campaign for a Scottish tax on sugar-sweetened beverages: he and his sustainable food campaign, the Fife Diet, will launch a new manifesto for it in September. Forms of sugar-sweetened beverage tax have already started in Denmark, France, Finland and Hungary. Scotland, Small says, is in the mood to follow.”
