FAST FOOD STUFFING

And about time too. Finally food manufacturers growing fat on the profits of feeding the rest of us calorie laden meals are to be brought to heel.

The Department of Health will draw up guidelines which could see ingredients in takeaways being changed and pizza sizes being reduced.

And don’t give me that claptrap that people just need to exhibit some self control and eat less.

Because 63% of the population are living proof that that alone ain’t working.

And the weight of the problem is crushing our NHS and costing us taxpayers a fortune.

McDonald’s, Domino’s, the soft drinks companies and ready meal manufacturers have all the technology to make foods just as tasty but far safer. Until now they’ve chosen not to use it. So now it’s up to our Government to make sure this greedy bunch understand they’re serving in the last chance saloon.
