Put fresh carrots and celery at the checkouts..That should get them fired up for snacks....

[John Milner]

No more buy one get one free...

Solution: Buy one get one for one penny (or whatever the lowest denomination coin they have there.)

[Rurudyne]

When government pays expect them to get the say.

[BipolarBob]

Next Step: To purchase sugary foods you must weigh this much or less.

[caww]

Oh for crying out loud! As if Downing Street doesn’t have more pressing issues than candy at checkouts!

[Nifty]

The government - taking responsibility for your well being. How nice.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I thought Breitling would bring more freedom to the UK. Boy, was I wrong.

[dainbramaged]

The Brits should be more worried about their teeth which can sometimes resemble baked beans in a row.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

I’d laugh at the British for letting the government play mommy for them, but let’s face it - we’re right there with them.

[9YearLurker]

Good to know they’ve got their priorities right in these challenging times!

[BBQToadRibs2]

[Bellagio]

But liquor, beer, cigarette, cigar and chewing tobacco display/sales posters litter the widows, walls with 2 for 1 promotional buys in the check-out lanes!

[moovova]

Just ban impulses.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

THIS IS FASCISM
Not the stuff they call fascism.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

I understand the impulse-buying thing, but if people are really dead-set on buying unhealthy snacks, won’t they just be able to get them on one of the aisles?

[CIB-173RDABN]

a “bold first step” in Downing Street’s promised campaign against obesity.
—

I thought keeping people from earning a living was the first step against “obesity”..no money, no food, loose weight. The government weight lost program guaranteed to work and lower the population at the same time. /s

Have them in a locked cabinet behind the counter.
Forbid advertising.
Require pictures of morbidly obese diabetics on every package.
TAX heavily!
Only 100 calorie sized packaging (but NOT allowed to call them “fun” sized)
Stern Warnings from the Surgeon General printed on each package.

Then put Marijuana-laced goodies where the candies and chips used to be. If you are in California, add a colorful display rack for recreational Quaaludes.

[Harpotoo]

Did Mikey Bloomberg move there to run that WELFARE country? Cause that’s the only way gov can get away with that BS!
