    Just like banning drugs and alcohol has been so effective, you mean?

    You can’t protect people from themselves by force. Education is the only thing that works long-term.

      Banning drugs and alcohol doesn’t work… but restricting them does work. Do you think everyone around is a cocaine addict? Alcohol is culturally acceptable hence it cannot be banned until it is culturally shunned. You only need to make sugar products inconvenient to get and unpopular; while also pushing for education.
