Hip hip hooray and high fives at our Conservative associations up and down the land as Government policy begins to nail down, and a honourary round of applause for the Liberal Party.


And not a single mention of personal responsibility...

Brits are getting fatter. Obesity is a major issue in the UK, and it's directly responsible for many life threatening conditions.

You can have the best healthcare system in the world, but if people don't look after themselves, there is only so much the state can do.
 
Cmon Pete, for as long as she's been an MP she's been absolutely awful.

That may be so, but she was being stitched up by the cs with one or two just protecting their own backs. For Sedwill to tell the cs to stop briefings is as near as dammit an admission of guilt. The Perm Sec of the Home Office should have resigned or been moved earlier over the Windrush affair, but nothing ever seems to stick to these guys.....

Actually lots of evidence it's the middle and upper classes that are taking far more resources that could have better outcomes.

Also its a fallicy that eating healthy is cheaper, and anyone who says otherwise is an out of touch numbty.

And read the report we are going backwards since 2011...
 
Indeed. Healthy food isn't expensive, but you need the time to cook etc.


My take on healthy food is a balanced diet, fresh ingredients, home cooked. I am no food loon, (organic? Nah.) and will enjoy the occasional take away/ready meal, but cooking a cheap healthy meal is really a piece of cake. Tastes nicer as well.

I reckon I could feed Mrs R and me, healthily, for a week, for £10.00.

That said, I fully accept the time short folk with a young family and jobs might have other things to do. In that case, it should be pointed out that you are allowed to freeze home cooked food.

Again. There’s an element of nonsense even there. In the time it takes to bang a pizza in the oven you can grill a chicken breast and make a salad.

pizza tastes better though so make any excuse to eat pizza.

Even if you are buying fresh ingredients that's no guarantee you getting the nutrients we once got from fresh produce, what with intensive farming methods. If you are of the belief that fresh foods mean healthy eating, well it borders comedic value of the 70s, like love thy neighbour...

It means healthier.

It's almost certainly healthier than what many eat at the moment.
 
Healthier than what, not much use if being nutrient deficiencent is the result. Long term nutrient deficiencies have serious health consequences, not just for the individual but their is plenty of evidence it has generational consequences!

Well I am not an expert, but common sense would suggest that a varied diet involving fresh veg, fresh fish, pasta/rice, white meat with a bit of red now and then, is healthier than 7 take aways or ready meals every week.

Even if the occasional slutty Brinner crops up.
