There are people in this country who have extremely limited incomes. They have children and they can walk into Lidl, Aldi and other supermarkets and buy these products despite the fact that they do not have a great deal of money. I have children and most other children I know want to imbibe sugary drinks. The reality is that a pint of milk is more expensive than a pint of Coke. The latter is what children actually want to drink. Are we being somewhat overly prescriptive in respect of those who are on low incomes in terms of increasing the cost of the products they want to buy in order to discourage them from purchasing them?
