Supplementary notes

* This question was phrased by the source as follows: "Sommige mensen vinden dat de overheid een extra belasting moet invoeren op producten die veel suiker bevatten (zoals frisdranken), net zoals er een extra belasting bestaat op tabak en alcohol. In hoeverre bent u het eens met de invoering van een zogenaamde 'suikertaks'?" (English: Some people think the government should implement an extra tax on products containing a lot of sugar (such as soft drinks), similar to the extra tax already existing on tobacco and alcohol. To what extent are you in favor of introducing such a 'sugar tax'?)
