Eating or drinking on trains and buses should be banned, in a bid to end Britain’s “mindless” snack culture, the country’s Chief Medical Officer has said, in her final report.And she said chocolates and crisps should be put in plain packaging, to reduce temptation, as has happened for cigarettes.
There’s little unhealthy about eating a burger. But subsist on a diet of burgers...that’s probably unhealthy. Quite how you change diets with plain packaging is anyone’s guess.
Sack Sally.
......don’t agree with dictating where people can and can’t eat but there may be other factors to deter people from eating on public transport other than obesity!
Every nutritionist will tell you the biggest problem is not necessarily what you eat but how much you eat. I McDonalds a week isn’t a problem. One a day is.
The lizard people are strong today..🤣🤣🤣
Should we not be doing that with alcohol first? Surely alcohol kills more people than junk food.
High table at her new place Trinity College Camb gonna be fun. Dons eating celery sticks with guava juice
I like the idea of people not eating on trains (unless it's a meal served onboard) as the constant grazing pulls at the structure of life, but I do wonder whether the Nanny State is an expression of Toxic Femininity.
What do we wrap toxic officials in?
Health warnings on junkfood / snacks needs to be more available, even included on packaging. Many parents and children do not know the facts about foods + drinks that are harming them greatly.
Is there nothing in this world that these self righteous quangos won't get their noses into? They seem to make this rubbish up to keep themselves relevant to keep themselves in business whilst milking the taxpayers 😡
Aunt ‘Tax & Ban’ is playing to a rapidly less credible media crowd.
Do people bring suit cases of snacks to trains and buses in Britain that it’s now a problem?! And if you ban eating and drinking in general that includes food that would be deemed “healthier” too...
So what?
Stop banning things, and stop providing them with support for problems caused by their obesity. Simple. If they want to harm themselves, fine. Just stop them from harming others.
Home Economics should be compulsory at school to teach good habits, that’s the only answer that will work.
Will she ban Apples too?
This attempt at a ban is beyond stupidity. Not everyone eats on train/bus eats for the sake of it. Many people need to drink to keep hydrated, as for food that's down to the person....to choose between healthy food or not.
Can someone pinpoint the year when personal responsibility was replaced by the current nanny system? I'm pretty sure things used to be better than this.
How about GFY, mmmkay?
Dame Sally is leaving her job so is trying to whip up some publicity by saying ridiculous nonsense.
Perhaps Dame Sally Davies needs to find out why you can get 20 packets of crisps for the same price as 6 vine ripened tomatoes... add a loaf of bread for a quid and you've got a family fed on crisp butties for a day - some people out here, non-Dames perhaps, are THAT skint!
England, where the solution to every conceivable problem is to have ham fisted government policies and bannings.
I don’t want to eat the packaging Do your worse
