Is anyone actually working on the actual VIRUS,FFS!!

I love those sweets but due to the Covid-19 l was told by my friends not to eat them..😣😔😢😭

Action on Boris Action on Cummings Might Help.

One step, maybe just stop selling high sugar content products to underage.

Yet another excuse to tax people no surprises there

Sounds like another excuse for more taxes.

Confectionary is different now to when I was a kid in the 70s. More coca then, less sugar content. Rein in the food industry & not the consumer. Legistrate in law for less sugar, salt & hydrogenated crap. Or are the food manufacturers more powerful than the government?

They can't do anything with companies lobbying government & government in bed with them. Gov are too frightened to loose money.

WHAT EVER NEXT....

In America too but before Covid-19

They should be getting everyone to bulk up ready for Brexit.

PHE are obsessed. There are better things to focus on, but this allows them to hide behind the patient. Why do the media allow them to get away with this?

Obesity was the most persistent co morbidity in the USA too.

Good. My foot injury is part due to increase weight on joints due to weight pile on over lockdown. I've now halved my calorie intake&I'm rehabilitating my life. Been here before several times in my life. Been lots heavier, too. Yoyo weight. Chemotherapy sent me the other way too

Is BoJo going on a diet too ? Maybe if he lost 5 stones he could find his brain.

Let's eliminate all the fat-cats then.

Maybe they'll open up obesity camps they can send fatties too for re-education. Just claim it's for the 'greater good' and all the state violence becomes magically OK. Can't have the stupid serfs thinking for themselves.

Make obesity illegal, either with a fine or jail time

Great, while the Conservatives are preparing to hand out vouchers for people to go and eat and encouraging them to sink a few pints

If ever there was a department ripe for being culled and save the public purse millions, this shower of mathematicians are absolutely top of my list. They are all sociopaths.

simple rules - avoid processed food, especially ANY fast food - avoid eating alongside other activities, because you will miss your bodies signals that it is 'full' - drink water, only water - and a lot of it - avoid going by car/transport, if you can also walk

Fat chance of that happening.

Stop making chocolate out of those boiled cattle heads left over from BSE, Cadbury/Nestle

Go vegan 🌱

Gruel for gammon?

Close all grocery stores for few weeks..

Well thanks to Brexit there will be fuck all food on the shelves come January..
