Yes because we alwa...Plain packaging for junk food? Yes because we always buy products based on the most colouful and snazzy designs. Do these public health folk honestly think people are that simplistic? Same with tobacco, do they think people take up smoking because the boxes look fun and colourful?<br /><br />We buy junk food because we want to and we enjoy it. If some people can't make good diet choices and eat in moderation why should everyone else be subject to such a ridiculous attempt at preventing consumption?<br /><br /><br />Haven't heard anything from CSPI in a while, not that it matters seeing as they're not really a valid source of information or advice.<br /><br /><br />I have a feeling this truely is the start of a slipperly slope. Not sure it will go that far but all these public health organisations will definately start pushing for it.Christopher Snowdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963753745009712865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-40751947814472852622015-03-12T19:25:23.032+00:002015-03-12T19:25:23.032+00:00No doubt our socialist Prime Minister will welcome...No doubt our socialist Prime Minister will welcome all future moves to label any products in any way that the public health mob deem appropriate.<br /><br />Having caved in to evidence free emotional blackmail on tobacco, there is no rational argument he can make to oppose the inevitable calls for soviet style packaging for just about anything on the grounds that "it might save one life" <br /><br />He has demonstrated that evidence is not a factor where he is concerned. Neither are jobs, small businesses, freedom of expression, honesty or common sense. Public health truly is uber alles under Cameron and all opposition will be crushed beneath state sponsored jack boots.Christopher Snowdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15963753745009712865noreply@blogger.com
