Soft Drinks Association: raising the tax on food will not help against obesity

The association responded to the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) proposal that the governments shoul levy a special tax of at least 20 percent onsugary drinks to fight against obesity and to prevent from diseases caused by obesity. (MTI)
