Do we need a calorie cap on our favourite meals?
WHY does the majority have to change for the sake of the minority? Apparently, we must all have our calories counted by restaurants and food manufacturers because of the growing number of people who are overweight. Why not make the obese get off their rears and do some exercise? The sugar tax is making it harder to buy what most of us want to eat and drink. Stop pandering to the fat and lazy and consider people who are happy with their calorie intake.

PUBLiC health england has called for calorie limits in restaurants. i urge eating establishments to halve the size of their dishes — and offer buy one, get one free. aLan M.
