Let’s call a ceasefire in the ‘war on obesity’

Of course if the Govt. was genuinely interested in Nation eating a healthy diet - they'd subsidise organic farmers so their food was much cheaper to buy - they'd tax salt and sugar - they'd ban hydrogenated fats in the preparation of food. They'd refuse to allow each supermarket to label their own foods... they'd stop their foolish idea of forcing single parents into work so they can stay at home and cook for their children - going on from this they'd put a limit on working hours by law -so people will have the time to cook for themselves (Well, in theory at least) rather than having to rely on ready meals from the supermarket or take aways or eating out.
Instead they're just weighing school children which will stigmatise them even further, and guilt tripping the parents.
and
ignoring anything and everything the supermarkets and food producers do - because mmmm, who do you think helps contribute to their party funds?
