    How aren’t lower prices a benefit for consumers in principle? (Leaving aside specific questions about health and that Pepsi is overpriced anyway.)

      Basically prices will still go up and the supermarket will get a wider profit margin to smooth things over so consumers will still get a brunt of the price increase.

        Thanks, I see my misunderstanding now. You’re saying that this doesn’t push down prices far enough, not that there isn’t any benefit.
