For me, someone who has struggled with stress eating (often with junk food), the price increases with the junk food items alongside less and less multi buy promotions for them have been encouraging me to eat better, make my own food etc.
I am not blaming the availability of these unhealthy items as the biggest issue, and I acknowledge it’s an internal situation more than anything, yet these initiatives have been a welcomed push to get me in the right direction.
It’s just a good influence.

…and replaced with more BOGOF for healthier items?
Oh, nothing? Oh, okay

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
