well, we heard that sugar content in branded milk were not shown and president himself publicly announce it. Why only soft drinks increase in all drinks taxes if any drink contain sugar.

Zero sugar drinks can have sweeteners that are bad for health. What other countries have banned should not be promoted or sold in Sri Lanka. One Zero sugar drink states in microscopically small letters that it is not suitable for children!!!!!!

Zero sugar drinks have artificial sweetners which are even worse than sugar.

Should allow beer in school canteens as they are the cheapest drink that people can afford.
