Especially after all those sugary cheaper tariff free biscuits and chocolate the kids will be scoffing down.
Has anyone explained the obesity crisis to Reeves and how much it costs the health service?

You're going to need to explain that to me, starting with the unproven myth that sugar causes hyperactivity...

[Youngian]

Yes, you're right there's little evidence there's a medical cause for sugar making kids hyperactive. There is however a correlation of heightened excitement when children are handed out sweets and chocolate.
Medically its the opposite, sugar contributes to sluggish behaviour as a consequence of obesity and ill health. Any dietician will tell you your gran was right, eat up your greens and don't stuff yourself with sweets if you want to be healthier.
