It didn’t take much to realise we were being duped so to me it was resisting the big pharma and wef etc.
Well, yes and no. It is surely good government to inform people about what is healthy eating and what is not. This information is good for individuals and it is good for the country as a whole. If the government does not do this, who will?
I’ll tell who will not provide this information - the producers of unhealthy foods. Fast food is produced by some the the largest businesses (not only by them but a big chunk by them). Snacking foods (sweets, biscuits, crisps) are made by some of the largest businesses. They advertise these foods to sell more of these foods - regardless of the impact on people’s health and wellbeing. The role of government should be to manage these ads that influence what people eat. These are unhealthy foods. There should not be complete freedom for businesses to push / influence people into eating such foods. It only makes very profitable businesses and not healthy people.
Promotions (3 for 2, bogof, extra amounts, jumbo size) are even worse. This is literally killing people - all for the profit of businesses. Government should be able to act to limit this.
This is particularly the case when fast food or junk food are the most affordable foods. I’d prefer to such government controls on ads and promotions on junk food aligned with better promotion of healthy eating. But I’ll take control of junk food any day of the week.
Then you were endangering others. How nice of you.

You have no idea what I was doing as for endangering people the nhs did that as I am now dying of cancer and can attest to.
First, I am very sorry to hear that you are so very ill. That is truly tragic. And the NHS was stretched beyond its capabilities during the pandemic. This will have meant that treatments for other problems were, in some cases, not available or delayed. I’m guessing, from what you state, that you fall into this group. Many others were similarly affected, which adds to the tragedy of people who died due to the pandemic.
My post, that stated you endangered others in your action, was in response to your claim that you did not do anything which we were advised to do during the pandemic. That was a clear statement and meant that you adhered to none of the rules - social engagement, distancing, washing hands, wearing a mask, getting the vaccine, etc. To actively not do these things would be to act in a way that endangered others. You now say that I do not know what you were doing - well, you had said that you did not of the we were told to do, so yes, you have informed me of what you were doing/not doing. Or have you changed your mind on what you were doing / not doing?
I was housebound due to my symptoms two weeks prior to lock down I came out after I collapsed at home from blood loss and I’m now recovering from a hysterectomy. I refused the bullying vaccine nutcases and refuse to wear a face nappy. My husband had covid despite his wearing one. BTW I didn’t need telling to wash my hands I do that anyway as I’m not a filthy beggar like some are.
I’m not anti vax before you say anything about that as I’m off to get my flu vax next week as I have for the past ten years or so.
I an understand why they are doing this at this time, but I hope it is temporary. Manufacturers do not need to add extra salt & sugar to foods. I hope the food labelling system to show if it’s too high / low and calories isn’t going to be scrapped.

You were aware that wearing a mask was less about protecting you from others with Covid and more about protecting others should you have had Covid? Its like when surgeons wear the exact same masks they are not doing it to protect themselves but to protect their patient. So you refusing to wear a mask was you deciding that your minor discomfort was more important than providing some protection to others. Thanks.

And are you aware those who lip read were isolated cruelly during this pretend pandemic that the so called pandemic was softening you up to accept further wef lock downs ? The number died with covid far outweighed those who died of covid. That areas didn’t lock down and mask wear had same outcomes as those who did ?
I’m not going to engage with you any further. Clearly you are not well and I do not wish to create stress for you. And our exchange has nothing to do with junk food, which is the topic of this thread. End.
I can’t help wondering how far Boris followed his own rules he
doesn’t look as if he has. Hmm.

He’s an Eton and Burlington club man. No junk food for him. I should think his robust figure has been gained from some very fine dining. That is ‘fine’ as in posh nosh, as opposed to ‘fine’ as in delicate.

Posh nosh looks as bad for us as junk food.

Of course it is! Or rather, it can be - depends on what it is. A belly full of slow roast belly pork will be high in fat. But then again, no-one is advertising slow roast belly pork on the TV when children are watching. And as purchasing decision, if faced with a 99p burger or £18 main course of slow roast belly pork (in a Madera jus), my guess is that the cash strapped would opt for the burger. Especially if the triple cooked chips that can be added to accompany the burger cost £4.50 extra. Just a guess.

Oh, now you’re making long for that pork and me trying to diet.
I’ve even bought an air- fryer.
But I see your point, I doubt if - whatever benefits - will buy much
pork - or the wine.
