The Blame Game
I
am tired of the 'blame culture' attached to junk
food. It is always the fault of someone else and not
of the government. At the present time it is blamed
on advertising and when rules have been introduced to
stop advertising it will move on again. In reality,
the government have done very little to persuade the
suppliers to change their methods of production or
what is put into the food we eat. Their fear of
upsetting these powerful organisations - and of
course financial donors - is hypocritical at the very
least. Meanwhile, banning advertising will have
little effect on what is purchased when the
supermarket aisles are full of the very products we
are told we should not be buying. Perhaps the next
round of legislation will demand we all wear blinkers
while doing our weekly shop instead of tackling the
problem at it's source - or should that be
sauce?!!
