11 years in school , left in 1969, only remember one fat boy, no girls, in that time. Fish and chips? Bacon rolls, bad. 71 yrs old and eat what I like. But not in excess. Gov is off the scale stupid.
I think that it is a good idea, my medium sized town has 6 McDs, 5 Greggs, 4 KFCs (all having at least one drive thru) and and a whole slew of Costas / coffee shops. If this ban takes away some of their business, then they might start to vanish and in tandem with Mark's site, we might see the return of the small town cafes. On the flip side, all of that advertising is liable for VAT, so the government are going to miss out on all of that money to fill the £22b black hole, that we keep hearing about
In our high street we have lost a Baker, newsagent, grocers, greengrocers shop, doctors' office, barber, butcher, we now have 5 cafes, all virtually empty, all competing for us towers, less now because our only office block is empty and the launderette has just close.
They might as well just ban all food advertisements during that time slot because there's only boiled potatoes left by the looks of it. In my experience from having brought up two children, they don't watch the advertisements on TV unless it's for toys in the run up to Christmas - they ask for what they see on their way around the supermarket based on how appealing the packaging is. Maybe the next move will be plain packaging of all food deemed unhealthy or locked in cabinets like cigarettes.
Potatoes are going to be in short supply as they are taking the irrigation water away from the Idaho potato farmers. I don't know if you realize the extent of the amount of potatoes, and processed potatoes, (French's etc.)that come from the Idaho desert. The volcanic soil there is great for them, but they must irrigate. The want the minerals now AND it is part of the war on food.Potatoes can be raised in other places, but this is MASSIVE, and will affect the supply and price of potatoes in the world.
@@Grassmonster3 They said some nonsense about it being for the 'greening' of America and naturalization, which is all ludicrous. Those irrigation ditches have been there for well over 100 years for the most part; some farmers have been there for SEVEN generations. None of it is real because of the Mormons that has had control over the area for ages, and they care nothing for the environment; I could tell you horror stories of the way they treat animals. I lived there for a short time and got out of there as soon as I could.
@@Grassmonster3 It goes with CRUELTY, too. I was certainly not prejudiced when I moved there, but I learned. It certainly is not all of them;I had Mormon friends but few were 'good' Mormons, even then, there were good people.The majority, especially in herd mentality, not so much.
I think it is an attack on the Scottish culture full stop and appalling to include porridge in this. Which is healthy and one of there national dishes. I normally have tinned oily fish and Chinese noodles with extra fat in spicy sauce for breakfast. I bet they won't like that either. My Spanish friend has Spaniscake and super thick Spanish drinking chocolate for breakfast every day. I think everyone should just stick to what they like. I think this is outrageous because there is so much child poverty and familys and lots of other people with no food in their cupboard. Serious poverty where I am and for a lot of the UK. Very good video thank you for doing it. I think if the government didn't want people to eat so much rubbish they would ban manufacturers from making it and selling it.
Richard Nixon invented junk food through Ag policy by creating massive subsidies for corn and bean farmers. That's the core issue. As long as these subsidies remain in place (in the US and well as other countries) labels and taxes won't do a thing. It drives me nuts that we pay to subsidize crap crops, then pay to address the problems created by those crap crops.
Wouldn't it be great if they funded sports and extracurricular activities and outdoor spaces for children, including teens and young adults!? What if... they promoted farms, too!?
Want us all have anemia so we can not fight bk whn they put us in 15 min citys and control what we eat and drink, give them another 5 year, we are done for ...keep up the good work x
The school nurses lie - i say this after my son got nephrotic syndrome ( kidney failure ) that saw him turn into a grey skinned skeleton as he went into remission following the chemo . School nurse report came back stating he was " Obese " . I phoned them up and asked if they had actually ever seen him = No we just get the forms to process was the reply . After an argument their answer was " it dosn't matter it dosn't mean anything " . I saw it as manipulation of the facts being used to manipulate the national statistics at a time when the government was after store card data to as Cameron put it " fine those who buy too much unhealthy food " . Even if your kids are on packed lunches - teachers look in their lunch boxes to see what they are eating ... Now look at all those who see themself as being " modern " with the self scanners recording everything they put in their trolley as they pay with their phone linking the purchase to them leaving no doubt it was them that made the purchase - basically creating the paper trail leading straight to them for future fines to be sent to ...... This has been escalating over the past 20 year's and undoubtedly will become the reality in the near future ...
The food is not the issue, it is the sedentary lifestyle of sit in school all day then come home and sit in front of the games console, phone, TV or computer. We kids of the 70s and 80s were kicked out the house from the moment we ate breakfast through to dark and actually did active things to entertain ourselves. That way staving off the podge. Banning food adverts won't change the modern lifestyle.
Banning junk food advertising on TV between specific hours will do nothing. 1) Whose kids spend all evening only watching TV until bedtime any more? This is not the past. 2) Do the ads extend to the internet, where kids spend half their school days, let alone their evenings? 3) How do you stop kids going into fast food joints on the way home from school, during the weekends when out with their mates, during extensive holiday times when they're out with their mates? 4) How do you stop kids sectetly trying things through peer pressure (has it worked for any parent, so far)? 5) What happens when the kid 'expesses its right to do exactly what it wants' (as it is told repeatedly at school) and 'demands' to be allowed to eat junk food - blackmailing parents with threats of social services intervention? 6) What happens when that kid reaches 16, escapes the custody of its parents (because it is now grown up and free to do what it wants by law), and begins to gorge down fizzy drinks and junk food until it is obese (like my son did)? The only answer is to close junk food franchises down, and tell all supermarkets and food brands to take all thst rubbish they produce off the shelves. Take us back to good whole foods - and, automatically, with no sugar, modified starches, industrialised oils, and long named chemicals to poison everyone, waistlines will reduce, diabetes cases will diminish rapidly, inflammatory disease will disappear like magic, and a whole host of other diseases will vanish. As a consequence: The NHS could function more easily with notably less patients through avoidable conditions brought on by bad diet. The number of dentists in the country could finally cope. Less material needed by clothing manufacturers now they don't need to make super size clothing (which means less resources, and less environmental impact). Less big cars for those bog drivers. 'Much' less agricultural land would be needed to grow crops that fulfil the 'immense' fast food and snack market. (Think of how much space your local supermarket devotes to junk food nowadays. It has to be a good third. Now think of how much agricultural land that must cost, farmers driven to let less land 'rest' as was traditional, and try to push more crops out of it in a year). Our cows wouldn't need food additives anymore, because the people who used to snack or graze constantly would no longer be doing it, thus releasing more land 'back' to the environment, the environment itself transforming back into a thriving condition that actively mops up a lot of the spare CO2 kicking about (and preserving the permafrost for longer). But you can't trust kids to automatically steer away from fast food simply if you ban such adverts on terrestrial TV between certain times. Kids spend their lives on social media, gaming, streaming programmes from Disney, Sky, Netflix and many others. Google algorithms collect data and deliberately target ads at them on all sorts of pages. Are they going to ban such ads there? Of course not. They can't control these sources. It is ludicrous for the government to think that they can and that anything they say about heath concerns would make one iota of difference to kid's minds. Besides, I doubt there are many schools that are not within walking distance of fast food and snacks any more. The new school they built in the town nearest me is slap next door to a McDonald's and a KFC. The kids must be sniffing the cooking smells every break time, through the open windows in warm weather, snd before and after school daily. Besides, there are plenty of parents who work all the hours the day sends just to make ends meet. Although I never resorted to this, there are going to be plenty of overworked mums out there who come home exhausted and are only too pleased to send the kids out for a pizza or a bucket of chicken. I knew a mum who bought fast food for dinner once a week, every week - and half her 6 young children had genetic heart conditions! She bought it because it was convenient and tasty, all the kids loving it - even if she did have to run one or two up the hospital afterwards. This government is all about 'bans' - never about real solutions or acceptable alternatives (or none that are reasonably priced, free, or possibly even 'safe' at any rate). This is just another exercise in scraping away at freedoms, layer by layer, until everyone who still manages to keep a roof over their head is cold, hungry, poor, scared to talk and completely disillusioned. Won't be long before those boatloads coming in will be puzzled by the boatloads of English going out.
Soviet Britain government should encourage food maker's of every size to produce natural stuff without chemicals. Then it will not cost the taxpayers an eye watering some of finances.
It's only advertising, you can still buy it. There are parts of the food industry who dominate and are not the friend of small farmers or small businesses, that are only out to make a profit regardless of the impact of their products.
People are fed by the FOOD industry which pays no attention to health...... And are treated by the HEALTH industry which pays no attention to food. Wendell Berry
Ban everything that is not essential for survival. Ban private cars, private jets and frivolous travel. Ban fashion - clothes should be practical, nothing more. Ban everything unhealthy: smoking, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, etc. What's wrong with that?
You're welcome to live that existence just don't push it on the rest of us. I for example live 1000m above sea level up in the mountains. My nearest shop is a 20 minute drive from here. Sure I could walk but I couldn't carry a weeks shop back home. I also need my car to get to work. Alcohol is an individual choice and most people enjoy a drink. As for dressing us all in grey industrial workwear for practical reasons, have you considered moving to North Korea, it may suit you. Your suggestions I hope are sarcastic, but if not then they are deeply concerning.
@alexpervanoglu7420 I have lived that existence since 1981. What little I have left has been poisoned, eroded, and destroyed by the people who do not. People like you.
Obese in reception year is a joke, my little one was classed as over weight based on her bmi, she is by no means obese and you need to stretch your imagination to even think she is
The thing is, the kids are over weight coz they eating the wrong things coz the cheap food isn’t the best for them- so the healthy food that is good for the kids they don’t get coz parents afford the fresh produce. Also the way the body works is it will hold on to any food it gets and so become over weight. I guess most people know this but just saying this
as someone who follows you, can i suggest scripting the videos? you have a ton of useful stuff to pass on to people, but people generally dont wait to hear it. I worked in journalism for years... the basic formula is the inverted pyramid... hit people with the main points first, then drill down to detail and chat. The main points hook them in. Then they stick around for the details. Be lucky. Thanks for doing this.
Ban the sodding PlayStation, game boy, etc Ban social media then perhaps kids would go out, yes outside to play, the parents would have to explain what this means though. 20 years ago you could tell when it was school holidays, all the kids were out playing. Not now, stuck in doors staring at the screen.
Artificial sweeteners are normally deemed far more harmful than sugar. They have been linked to neurological issues. Also, people eat far more complex carbohydrates than decades ago and too many seed oils but they will never research those connections.
If they are putting seed oils in most of the food, what do they expect to happen.
ban McDonald's, Burger King, KFC. And shut them down. Then turn them into farm shops happy days.

There is dentists in Uk, unfortunately to see one you need to pay.
So, all parents need to go to bed at 9 pm so they dont see the adverts?
Unless anyone has seen a 5yr old shopping in tesco?
No, didnt think so

correct but am I sick hearing about this black hole ffs every other sentence its being used and I bet they'll still be pushing it in 4/5 years
Wonder if the ban includes pizza and takeaway leaflets coming through the letterbox

The one food I don't understand why they want to banish is porridge.
Because in Mylar bags it lasts 30 years and they don’t want you to be able to put long term food put by. They want you to eat ze bugz
