We live a pretty decadent lifestyle now, especially with regard to food choices. As our society is driven by capitalism restraints on what foods can be used to create other choice food stuffs is practically nonexistent and supermarkets, for instance, can stock any old crap they want: if it sells that is good enough.

Why is the NHS under duress?
Well this duress should lift now shouldn't it as the new anti-smoking laws kick in? Probably will in time which is a good thing. So if one type of intake has been deemed hazardous to health why not others such as sugars, fats and animal products?

What clogs up the hospitals?
No idea on the actual figures but many illnesses are because of people eating a poor diet; one that clogs the arteries or causes cancer, with many suffering all sorts of illnesses such as diabetes etc, and most can be caused by eating the wrong foods.

Outlaw food groups?
Well there you go then: why not outlaw certain food groups and place them in the same category as cigarettes?

Believe me there is ample evidence out there to substantiate the above. We are what we eat!

Blimey baked beans in the local corner shop sure are expensive. No wonder supermarkets are ruling the roost.

I don't think it's joke but would any government dare, it would cause problems for their business friends and so many poor farmers abroad who only have sugar as a crop.
