Saint Jamie of Oliver has coordinated a letter to Theresa May, signed by Corbyn, Sturgeon, Cable and Lucas, that calls upon Nanny to ban buy-one-get-one-free offers on junk food, and impose strict new rules on how and when it can be advertised.
"We are writing to urge you to take bold action to tackle one of the greatest health challenges of our time. A crisis which is putting immense pressure on the NHS as it approaches its 70th birthday."
The pressure on the NHS is brought about by the following:
- unrealistic expectations of what the NHS can do for people
- people living far too long, but not living a quality dignified life
- people misusing the NHS without consideration to those who are really ill
The fact is severely obese people die earlier than those who aren't, as such they are not the main drain on the NHS's resources.
Does it not occur to people that once the state starts dictating what we may/may not eat and drink then we may as well end our lives now, as the most basic of freedoms will have been taken away from us?
