RE: Poor diet is now the number one killer in England

in #healthnhs6 years ago

A big problem is people abdicating responsibility and relying on the system for decisions and not even asking information.
People have a bizarre disconnect. They only see something as toxic or life-threatening if it kills them on the spot. And if other people do it in large numbers 'it must be safe'. And we are most of us eating a ton of poorly nourishing, highly processed food that has been sold to us with a lot of clever advertising.

However, I'm NOT for nanny state tactics for turning this around. It will turn around eventually and it is very sad that it is the poorer folks who will join the turn around late. I like the efforts of people like Jamie Oliver and Joe Wicks in the UK. They are working hard to educate and encourage people ... not to patronise them and legislate to control their behaviour.

Good comment I agree basically!
