Wasn’t the sugar tax, ban on fast food advertising and other measures frustratingly introduced meant to solve this?
Supermarkets need to do more to limit the sale of UPF or else we should start to tax and label it like tobacco.
I appreciate the need for personal responsibility, but as it stands we’re creating generations of addicts whose brains are being wired to depend on junk food.
Honestly shocking that we allow companies to make insane profits from ultra processed junk that is intentionally designed to be addictive. It’s destroying the health of our population just so shareholders can line their pockets.
But let them trick you into thinking that an entire generation of humans spontaneously became lazier and greedier than all the generations that came before, so we can keep blaming the individuals who are miserable and struggling instead of regulating the industry that is destroying our economy and poisoning our children for profit.
It’s all part of cost of living unfortunately. It’s £1.50 for a full pizza on offer or £4 for a meals worth of chicken for a family if you shop reduced before you even add the other ingredients if you’re not willing to eat the dark meat.
Let alone the added power requirements to cook a large meal vs 10 mins per pizza.
Food tech needs to focus on healthy affordable meals over baking a crumble or cupcakes imo.
I honestly find it so weird seeing overweight kids. I *almost* understand overweight adults but when you’re a child all you do is run about and play. basically like a fusion reactor at that age.
We’re very conscious of instilling physical activity into our daughter. Don’t get me wrong, she loves a happy meal like any other kid but she also loves going on walks with the dog, riding her scooter, going to trampoline parks, swimming and generally anything active.
I always think it’s just lazy parents not being active that’s the real problem
