<p>He’s been labelled the “nanny of the nanny state” online by people who disagree with the tax purely on principle, but he’s also being called a hypocrite by anyone who’s ever visited his website or bought one of his books.</p>
<p>How’s that? Well, a number of Oliver’s recipes suggest quantities of sugar that would be taxed under the new levy.</p>
<p>The sugar tax has two bands. One for drinks with total sugar content above 5g grams per 100ml, and a higher rate for more than 8g per 100ml. That would make this cake, which has 61% of your daily sugar intake in each serving, highly taxable.</p>
<p>This recipe recommends that to serve 10 you use 200g of sugar. That’s roughly the same amount of sugar as you’d find in 18 cans of Coca-Cola – a product that will fit into the top band of the levy as a result of the 10.6g you consume in each can.</p>
