Lose 5 lbs to save the NHS.

Hi

The new Government Mantra.

https://www.itv.com/news/2020-07-26/...alth-secretary

A complete U Turn by Boris, one for the better perhaps.

Alcohol is one of the biggest contributors, so why only a consultation on putting the calories on that, a very simple thing to do.

Fed up of saying, a Burger in a Bap IS NOT JUNK FOOD! It becomes JUNK when a person has say a Ham and Tomato Sandwich for dinner at 1.00pm, then nips to the Drive Through at 3.30pm for a "Snack Burger", that is a Self Discipline issue, not a Food Quality issue.

It's junk if it's full of salt, fat , sugar , additives. It's popular because it's cheap. They should give healthy fast food tax breaks and high tax chicken shops and burger bars. People would buy less if the cost was higher it's as simple as that.

But they should also make it illegal to eat fast food in the street with on the spot fines. So if someone gets a takeaway when their willpower is low after a few drinks they have to wait until they get home to eat. This would also stop the inconsiderate habit some have of dropping chicken bones under trees where dogs pick them up.

Yes another U-Turn from the overweight blonde boy at Number 10.

I think if you're going to encourage the population to be healthy it helps if you yourself don't look like you've taken one-too-many trips to the deli-counter.

Hi

I do not like Boris at all.

He does however have some good points.

I am a Socialist, but could not ever have voted for Corbyn and Abbott.

Boris or Corbyn?

It would have to be Boris.

Boris is an Elitist Prat, he is however far better than the Marxist Corbyn.

Fail to see the correlation between Boris's physical demeanour and his political leaning.

That is probably true of 80% of the food products on any Supermarket shelf.
