Anyone else agree this is a fairly sensible policy?

Everythings bad for your health in one way or another though!

Everytime I go to my Nans she's telling me about another food that the newspaper says is gonna kill everyone.

And as the kids say, YOLO, just eat/drink/smoke what you want. Whats the point of living to 110 if you're bored shitless eating nuts and pulses and drinking distilled water every day.


Not to mention the fact we all drive round filling the air with all sorts of shite without worrying about it.

No it isn't though. Everything has been claimed to be bad for your health by the daily mail and metro news etc. but a HUGE spike in blood sugar coupled with a massive dose of caffiene is definitely, irrefutably unhealthy, along with many dubious artificial chemicals that although not definitely proven to be specifically unhealthy, your body will have difficulty processing.

I do a lot of sports and eat quite healthily most of the time and it's not to live long, I feel great, and when I eat shite all the time I feel shite! Although clearly I am pictured on the left enjoying a cigar with my fat stacks of cash I make on a daily basis so I don't want to be too hypocritical.

Your body is literally made of what you consume and if you consume horrible crap you're not really providing your body with the right things it needs to operate properly.

In any case, you'll be alright if you have "bad" things in moderation and as a treat, and you'll probably notice ill effects if you constantly and habitually consume bad things, but ultimately it is your body and you can eat and drink whatever you like!

YOLO is true, as I'm only here once I'd rather have a good life and feel good instead of feeling run down and crap all the time as I won't have another life!


Regarding shop policy, yes it is easy for them to go down the road and buy elsewhere, but the odd parent might be buying it for a 12 year old and stop and think "hmm if they think it is a bad idea, maybe it is!" I'm sure we have all encountered parents who have their kids guzzling coke and eating crisps non-stop without a second thought so maybe just planting the idea that it isn't for the best in people's heads is already a positive step.

You got me with that one i looked
