But sadly it follows the trend of where SA heading, whether it is companies fault or goverment.....
Sugar can be addictive. It is a fact.Firstly sugar isn't highly addictive, that's an urban myth. You can go off sugar right now and never feel any withdrawals.
Tongaats problems aren't due to the sugar tax, it's due to mismangemant, the drought a few years ago, remember they don't only do sugar they also have a large maize portion through African Products.

When you come up with a theory on how a stock will perform, there is a chance that you could be mistaken. The trick is to know when you’re wrong, and to have an exit plan.
It's not physically addictive in anyway, that's a fact.
It is indeed apparently addictive and people who suffer cravings can have withdrawal when they go off of it.
Very addictive.
So you're listening to one or two scare "articles" that claimed it's as addictive as heroin? Yet those studies weren't done on humans but on rats and also show that anything we as humans fancy lights up the same parts of the brain as heroin as well.
No, no it's not and no you want have withdrawals from going off of if. You may suffer cravings for it, but sometimes I suffer cravings for nachoes, am I addicted to nachoes?
So your definition of addictive is only that which can be compared to heroin. I see. Sugar is addictive. People can't live without out it, they can't stop using it. It's addictive. Period.
Where are you getting this from that people cannot live without it? It is simply not physically addictive, same as gambling isn't physically addictive. Some people may have addictive personalities and get dopamine rushes from certain things that normal people don't. So though the substance isn't physically addictive it can by psychologically addictive, like after the first 3 weeks of stopping cigarettes, technically the first 3 days you're no longer addicted physically, but you're still addicted mentally.
In other words it is addictive.
Too some people yes, but it's not addictive like actual real things like cigarettes. You get people addicted to video games, sex, cutting themselves etc... Doesn't mean those are on the same level as actual physical addiction whereby when you stop you actually get physically ill.
It is highly addictive. You are trying to hard here.
You are arguing with someone whose mind is made up. No amount of fact will change that. You may as well go and shout at a brick.
"natural and healthy options to regain control." Fruit still contains sugar and fructose isn't any better than sucrose or glucose. If they are suffering those effects it's probably due to other factors, a lot of the processed foods with sugar include a lot of carbohydrates and other things that if completely cut out can cause fogginess and what seems like withdrawal symptoms, go look at the paleo diet crowd harp on about their withdrawals from carbs.
I'm seeing so.
Ditto.
