The IPPR says plain packaging would put unhealthy food on 'a level playing field' with fruit and vegSweets, crisps and sugary drinks should be in plain wrappers, like cigarettes, to help combat preventable diseases.
That is one of the proposals in a report from the Institute for Public Policy Research , a left-leaning think tank, which says the plain packaging would put unhealthy snacks on"a level playing field" with fruit and vegetables. The IPPR report, Ending the Blame Game: The case for a new approach to public health and prevention, also calls for an end to TV advertising of confectionery and processed food before the 9pm watershed and for the minimum smoking age to be raised to 21.Extending the current sugar levy on soft drinks to cakes and confectionery, with the proceeds invested in physical education and local sports facilities.Community cookery classes, paid for by large supermarkets through a levy on their profits.
Tom Kibasi, IPPR director, said:"It's time to end the pro-obesity supermarkets by putting fruit and veg on a level playing field with crisps and confectionery.
Those plain packaging looks more enticing tbh. 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Withdraw the funding these people get for dreaming up these crappy ideas.....
UK, get a flipping grip. Its enough now!!!!! Let people make their own damn choices. Drinks have already been ruins by sugar reductions and replacements with sweeteners which not all people can tolerate. Now this. Next will the the outright ban of anything nice!!!
Let’s make labelling on everyday products dull and make people’s lives more boring why not! Ridiculous!
You shouldn't be made to feel guilty or bad about yourself for buying a fizy drink! Perhaps health nuts should leave other's to their own devices and go eat something themselves
if your getting on at obesity, then get the slack idle fat arses off thier backsides and make them work for a living.
cjsnowdon is there no end to this utter madness.
And what about labelling of ingredients ? Allergic reactions etc surely it’s the law to have ingredient information on packaging
Everything in moderation..that's the key. Doesn't matter what labels on it-totally irrelevant. Don't feed your kid 6 chocolate bars a week and no soda with meals. Treats are treats. Teach your kids that.
Because that will stop ppl buying it.. of course it wont if ppl want chocolate and coke and cakes they will buy it. They dont by it because the labels are nice
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yeah right like that’s gonna work
