I know the tories can be blamed for most things , but Rickets etc ? To me it’s people ( mostly youngsters ) would rather a Mac Donald’s / kfc for there tea / kids tea , than cook a proper veg / meat tea We recently looked after 2 youngsters from next door while mum had to go into hospital , apparently these 2 won’t eat vegetables , it’s chips , beans , kfc etc , mrs cooked a stew / veg & they demolished it , strawberries / rasperies for afters , did them a roast / steak etc with veg & ate the lot , lashings of gravy I’m afraid youngsters ( a large majority) just can’t be bothered to cook / prepare proper meal for themselves / kids , ring up & get a take away delivered As I say not sure how the tories are to blame for poor eating habits , it’s down to the parents to feed there kids properly Nb I remember my mum making me sit at the table from tea time until 11 pm until I ate the cold sprouts !!

True about not cooking and takeaways,the evidence is that so many takeaway shops in poorer areas,dont see Deliveroo riders in wealthy areas.

I dont really like the nanny state idea or excessive H&S but I do think that encouraging people to be healthy is a good idea. I can remember tobacco and alcohol being advertised on tv when I was young,a good idea to stop it.
Maybe it would be a good idea to start treating sugar in the same way as tobacco/alcohol as it can cause health problems.
