vwkittie   10 #121 Posted October 6, 2016 Cheap food is packed with fats and sugars to mask the poor quality of the ingredients and make it taste of something. All processed food is loaded with sugar, even savoury things that you would never think did. Even bread has it in it. This is where the education should come in; that, and making the food processors cut out the sugar (like Jamie Oliver is petitioning for,) but the food lobbyists have the government over a barrel as per usual so that won't happen.  Doesn't bread need to have sugar in it for the yeast to make it rise  ---------- Post added 06-10-2016 at 14:28 ----------  rubbish!!!! a stir fry takes minutes, fill with veg, noodles, chicken easy, and as for fussy kids well if they dont eat it they go hungry:roll:  Here here!

I don't add sugar. I don't know the chemistry of bread making; there might be natural sugars present.  I think Anna B makes an otherwise valid point. Lots of processed food contains added sugar and that could be looked at. It seems a better idea than just taxing sugary drinks to me.  But I agree with DonaldTrump1: stir-fries take minutes and are delicious. As are many pasta dishes (And I actually prefer the healthier pasta integrale myself). And my kids will get what I give them. I'm not faffing about making different dinners because they have decided this particular day they don't like carrot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Remember a hate crime is reported as a hate crime if the victim thinks it's a hate crime. So you could report fattism as a hate crime.  http://www.express.co.uk/comment/columnists/leo-mckinstry/323558/Soon-it-will-be-a-hate-crime-to-call-a-fat-person-fat  I'm not sure what Bonzo's point was. You can't get away with racism. Ask Gazza! (Who I don't think was being racist, just insensitive and unthinking with his humour in this modern world) Edited October 6, 2016 by Santo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ukdobby   224 #132 Posted October 9, 2016 To be fair I've not read all the thread but this is what is wrong with Britain,people never lay the blame on the person who's fat,its all about what help can the government/doctors give to stop these people stuffing their faces with fast food,look in the mirror and take action,keep fit and eat the right food.
