Leave public health to retailers – say retailers
Responding to the White Paper Healthy Lives, Healthy People, the British Retail Consortium has welcomed the Government’s recognition that more regulation is not the answer is welcome. They say that retailers say they are working to help people take more responsibility for making healthier eating choices.
The reason that food manufacturers have removed trans-fats and reduced the amount of fat, sugar and salt in their products is down to pressure from public health campaigners and customers.
Leave public health to the retailers and food and drink manufacturers and there’ll be many more obesity- and alcohol-related premature deaths.
