Instead of limiting sugar in drinks,
when fat threatened to blow out the Budget
more than limits to sugar would do,
Aussies banned icing on cakes
and sugar-soaked sultanas too.
Sales fell on those.
On other sweets they grew.
We limited sugar in most everything.
The glut reduced its price.
Exports rose.
Fatness now foreigners' fate.
Ours, lost weight.
