Just say no

It's a symptom of the Labour government and the so called nanny state that regulations, targets and restrictions are introduced willy nilly to deal with each and every new crisi that emerges.

Classic amongst these is the question of obesity. Obesity is caused (with a very very few exceptions) by over eating over a period of time.

The cure for obesity therefore is simply, reduce the amount eaten. To achieve this is simple. It requires a bit of self control and a modest amount of excercise.

The Labour Government doesn't see it like this. They look for someone to blame, whether that be the sellers of (so called) junk food, supermarkets or even newsagents who place chocolate oranges close to the checkout.

This is crazy, the solution to a chocolate orange is not to buy one. The solution to junk food is not to buy it (very often). The solution is to educate people that it is their responsibility to look after themselves.
