Ban food and drink on public transport to cut child obesity, says chief medical officer

often offer a fantastic range of cakes, biscuits or brownies. If they are suddenly no longer able to sell them, or have to significantly change them because of an arbitrary calorie cap, it will clearly be a challenge and put them at a disadvantage.

What even after 4 hours on a delayed train. Wouldn't that be tantamount to torture. And discouraging people from taking public transport ... well that's not exactly what we need right now. Maybe they should give the job of chief medical office to an adult.

Hey. Stop sitting children down during their whole childhood. In classes. At home for homework. Etc. More gym classes, walks, exercise, playgrounds, public parks, safe bike routes etc, and less homework. But hey, that all costs money & effort, so let's do the fake solution(!)

Stop eating animals and junk food

*Slow clap* What a terrible, simplistic solution to a serious and complex issue. FFS.

Is the ban for eating snacks at the bus stop as well? And on the way to the bus stop? And on the way home after they get off the bus? And in the home 🙄🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔

Lol Ps ban capitalism

So why the picture of the attractive lady for the article?🤷🏽‍♂️

That's nonsense, how about the people who need to eat or drink something because of their health condition? In the summertime when it is hot, people take a bottle of water with them to keep hydrated, what are people going to do then. That is a dumb idea which would never work.

Ban medical officers to cut the crap....

Tax, death, idiots and idiotic news outlets are a certainty

Noooo! What else is there to do?

What a load of rubbish who are these people that get these ridiculous ideas....

Haha! Awesome. My kids use public transport about twice a month. Stupid idea. This country becomes a little more Draconian every day.

Forcing people to lose weight by banning or taxing certain foods is the wrong way, people have to want to lose weight for it to be effective by being educated, I personally lost weight because I hated the feeling of being fat not because someone forced me

Ban food and drink on public transport - This is just Crazy, lots of people just have time to grab a snack breakfast or Lunch on the Go!. Well Off Tweeps Preaching Again CrimesAgainstSociety

Wow! Stupidity abounds over the pond too!

Riiiggghhhttt, cause that's what's causing obesity.

Just imagine anyone trying to enforce it. Not the answer.

But your stock photo model looks so happy

Chief Medical Officers brain is full of 💩

So will train operating companies be banned as well from selling food and drink that they provide on trains too?

Chief Medical Officer wants food banned on public transport to fight obesityThe report puts the CMO at odds with Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has previously rallied against the sugar tax. Try going by train from Edinburgh to Penzance then. So how it will be policed? We have fare dodgers, smokers & alcohol drinkers on London trains & tubes now and nothing is done. After all, not even Labour Shadow ministers can be bothered to obey rules on public alcohol consumption. What a bell end
