THIS IS FASCISM
Not the stuff they call fascism.

I understand the impulse-buying thing, but if people are really dead-set on buying unhealthy snacks, won’t they just be able to get them on one of the aisles?

a “bold first step” in Downing Street’s promised campaign against obesity.

I thought keeping people from earning a living was the first step against “obesity”..no money, no food, loose weight. The government weight lost program guaranteed to work and lower the population at the same time. /s

Have them in a locked cabinet behind the counter.
Forbid advertising.
Require pictures of morbidly obese diabetics on every package.
TAX heavily!
Only 100 calorie sized packaging (but NOT allowed to call them “fun” sized)
Stern Warnings from the Surgeon General printed on each package.

Then put Marijuana-laced goodies where the candies and chips used to be. If you are in California, add a colorful display rack for recreational Quaaludes.

Damn... and I thought removing Cadbury’s vending machine from London underground stations was bad.

Packages of boccoli and kale at check out stands. Guaranteed to boost sales revenue!

Good.

Have to save room for Bangers and Mash, Blood Pudding, Bubble and Squeak, Devilled Kidneys, Faggots, Greasy Fish and Chips, Jellied Eels, Pie and Mash, Rag Pudding, Toad-in-the-Hole, Treacle Tart, and, last but not least, Haggis.

That stuff is much healthier.
