If the Govt Want People To Eat less And Be More Healthy....

[Vincent]

Why don't they ban Food/Fast Food adverts on TV and stop the TV channels pumping out all these food progs? They did it with fags and booze

Fuck banning things, I support the notion that human beings are actually capable of making an informed decision for themselves. While often not the case, I'd prefer the assumed position to be one of capability not one of needing to be cared for.

If people wish to fill their bodies with filth, that is their lookout.

Might not be advertised to me but I drink lots of beer.

We walk into a shop and we see all this bad food ... but it's ultimately YOU who shouldn't eat it so much.

Also, junk food can be quite nice ... it's self control that makes me not eat it all the time and become a rotund fucker who blames adverts.

Sort of like that woman who died probably because she drank 20 litres of coke everyday. That "was coke's fault because they don't tell you not to drink 20 litres a day".

The State should not be relied on to nanny us. Boils my PI$$, same with pornz on the internets now, you have to opt in. Fuck that, how about parents do some parenting and stop their kids from going on porn ...

Food isn't the issue as such, life styles are. I know I eat at the wrong times, binge eating at the end of the day instead of loads of little meals throughout the day. I don't have breakfast, rarely have lunch, but tend to eat large amounts after 8pm. That and not having the time to do regular exercise ( 12 hour shift with an hour each way commute 5-6 days a week doesn't leave much time for anything really these days). There is a bit of comfort eating in there too, but that is just a symptom of the issue.

Don't get me wrong, there are some who are just lazy fat fuckers who just eat and eat, but like smokers, they will keep on doing the same no matter what.

If food adverts were banned, would our lives be worse?

[Vincent]

I just think that, (for people that watch the box all the time), images of food fill the subconscious until it brainwashes people into thinking about fast food and filling their faces all the time.
A lot of, (probably most), people aren't able to make good choices. Look at when whassisface tried to introduce healthy food into schools - parents were outraged and were even passing fast food through the school fence to their poor kids

That's the idea, those ad execs don't spend millions on it for nothing.

KFC does lots of advertising. Yet I dont walk in to one.

I never see adverts for single malt whiskeys, or huge eisbeins or T bone steaks, yet I will buy it.

Instead of banning food adverts, just put a tax on obesity, like a surcharge each time they use health services due to an obesity related problem. They are putting a toll on health services that healthy people must pay for, not for an accident, or illness, but for something self inflicted.

It is a weighty problem.

The UK is listed as 3rd to 10th fattest nation, and USA first, depending on if small developing nations considered

In the USA it shocks you as soon as you get off the plane. Just massive fat people everywhere.

I suspect that if people weren't bombarded with food adverts and children weren't targeted by Fast Food companies, obesity wouldn't be such a big issue in the UK. Humans are only like other animals and, if you dangle an image of something edible in front of them long enough, they'll bite. We can't rely on the Govt to do anything though as most are in the pockets of the Supermarket barons and do their bidding.

I've not yet seen an advert on TV for either weed, coke or whores.

Hasn't stopped me spunking all my money on them over the years.

Why ban things? Stupid f*ckers can eat crap food if they want.

Banning things that can or may cause harm is the most retarded policy ever, ever, in ever, FOR ever. Ever.
