Rising Petrol Prices hit Obesity
This is great news and these kinds of trends should be encouraged by government intervention.
What do you think? - Should the government tax certain activities? Is it the government's responsibility to tackle obesity?

If the UK government scrapped the vehicle excise licence and added the cost to petrol and diesel. Also increased tax on aviation fuel. This would take a lot of money out of the economy. The MPC could then cut interest rates - help mortgage payers and industry to borrow and invest. It would also be a cheaper and more efficient way of discouraging road use and congestion; than congestion charging and road pricing.
