Comment on Tony Blair says junk food should be made too expensive for the poor to afford through new sugar and salt taxes to tackle obesity

How about instead of punishing “the poor” with new taxes we just made healthy food cheaper.

How about actually giving people the time to actually prepare a healthy meal.

No one wants to spend 30mins to an hour cooking a good meal when they only get 4 hours of time to themselves a day. Reduce everyone’s working hours and make them actually want to live a healthy life rather than treating them like consumables to be used up by businesses and replaced with their offspring.

Thus is exactly the kind of thing is expect from someone so far removed from the day to day reality of normal people.
