  Unless the government brings out their own range of supermarkets, that won’t happen.

  They can ban deals on unhealthy foods. They can’t compel private companies to offer deals, and I feel if they tried it’d backfire with companies just raising food prices to compensate.

    It wouldn’t actually take much would it, to make competition happen. Government just offers their own cheaper alternative, and boom, suddenly food prices drop
