Implementation of some of the measures (like 3 for 2's or BOGOF's) has been delayed until 2025(?), but the ban on junk food at entrances and tills has been in force for a good while now.. Were the SNP & Greens at fault for this too? https://www.specialityfoodmagazine.com/business/hfss-explained-what-the-regulations-mean-and-when-they-come-into-effect#:~:text=What is the HFSS regulation,with 50 employees or more.

For a measure for which there is no evidence to support its effectiveness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are banning diet drinks from meal deals, well why? Diet Coke has zero calories, zero sugar. What’s the purpose of that? Yep - occasionally pop into Tesco near my work for the odd meal deal, and the nearest food places are Subway, Greggs or Burger King around Central Station. edit: by comparison the odd sandwich, crisps and diet drink feels positively healthy. Would be nice to have places serving stuff thats a bit more wholesome but even at that the bulk of the cafes are either extortionate or still cater to folk that just want something fried and tasty. Can't blame them tbh. Pretty sure the likes of Sprite and 7-Up are already advertised as being low calorie & per can they're not far off, say, an equivalent coffee with milk in it. Feels pointless, unless its more targetted at high caffeine content shite like Red Bull / Monster which still... well, doesn't feel like this is targetted enough if thats the end game. Quavers per bag are advertised as being fairly low in calories per bag and all. The bulk of the crisps & chocolates you can get on in a typical meal deal are, I suspect, already low calorie thanks to shrinkflation anyway (unless you're actively hunting for the best value price-to-shite ratio) Edited March 26 by Thistle_do_nicely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" i met nursing students who were graduating last week, very excited to start work" I also listened to the interview and I thought she did well in expressing that the policy is part of a strategy that is supported by a wide range of objective experts. The only significant opposition is coming from the loud mouth and simplistic tories. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
