Heala

Although a tax was placed on sugar in South Africa, it was not enough. Heala (the Healthy Living Alliance), calculated that by increasing the tax to 2.26 cents, the government could save a staggering amount of money in healthcare because of the decrease in obesity and obesity-related illnesses this would achieve. To illustrate how impactful this increase would be, I used the discontinued and often overlooked 2 cent coin.
