If the government is really bothered about obesity why are they waiting nearly 18 months to introduce these measures?

But all the tax dodging fast food outlets will carry on.🤔

These are a lifeline for some people, not the wealthy obviously.

So I won’t be able to get a BOGOF because the government want to tackle obesity - sod it I’ll just pop to McDonalds and get my non-obesity 4 burger Big Mac - once again the government get the target wrong

It’s time the gvt stop interfering

The nanny state at its best

I go shopping every week and have not seen a BOGOF offer for years, the supermarkets are far too stingy these days which is crazy since they are profiteering through the pandemic!

We always have to stop to the lowest common denominator.. what is Boris doing?, what a joke.
