I doubt very much that those parents who fill their children up with processed foods and sugar will take much notice of 'government action' and those that would don't need it anyway.
Of course we all know that sugar is bad for us, that it's 'pure white and deadly', empty calories, leads to obesity and diabetes etc etc blah blah blah.
BUT despite that, how many people actually realise how ugly and corrupt our food industry really is?
Many perfectly intelligent and well informed people don't actually know to what extent they're consuming hidden sugars every day.
The raw statistics that emerge from this programme are mind blowing, that's what I'm saying.
Previous generations weren't hoodwinked by corrupt marketing and advertising.
Look at those sky high Coke boards in Mexico!
Horrific details on a scale that most ordinary people are unaware...36spoonfuls of sugar in a small jar of stir fry sauce,, and 7,000 lower limb amputations a year just in the UK alone...that mountain of plastic legs is an image that stays with you.
You say you can't stand Jamie, fair enough, but it's not about that, he has heart and he has passion!
I can't stand Jeremy Clarkson, but if he'd presented this programme I'd have signed that petition like a shot!
