Tobacco was a unique product. The vile tobacco control wasn’t going to be applied to other products. There was no slippery slope. Of Course not.
The food industry should be regulated like the tobacco industry as obesity poses a greater global health risk than cigarettes, say international groups.
Consumers International and the World Obesity Federation are calling for the adoption of more stringent rules.
These could include pictures on food packaging of damage caused by obesity, similar to those on cigarette packets.
These people are evil. There is no other word to describe them. There is no obesity epidemic and what we eat, smoke, drink or otherwise consume is none of their damned business.
Pictures on fag packets?
Well, we had just written warnings, but a mate opf mine collected them and made a pin board.
Brought hours of endless laughter, although we DID mix it with a lot of Thai temple ball, New Zealand head, and Afghani snow at the time.
AAH! AAH! AAH!
Action on Alcohol and Health x 3.
Another ASH? Action on Salt and Health.
And another ASH? Action on Sugar and Health.
A few weeks ago there was a talking head on the radio claiming that overweight people were deluding themselves because they saw themselves as being fit. Being myself extremely fit but, according to my BMI seriously overweight, I tried to find out who it was so that I could enlighten him. My search took me to the government’s official obesity website which I found to be a somewhat frightening place.
I look forward to torture warnings on low-fat, low-salt, ultra-healthy halal food in supermarkets, hospitals and schools, together with gory pictures of what happens at these abattoirs.
