It seems that Nanny is now abandoning any pretence that we have a right to choose what and how much we eat, as she proposes to introduce a mandatory calorie cap on food.
The fascists in Public Health England insist that pizzas must shrink or lose their toppings, and pies, ready meals and sandwiches will also be subject to the new proposed calorie limits.
Under the draft proposals, a standard pizza for one should contain no more than 928 calories - far less than many sold by takeaways, restaurants and shops. And the recommendations suggest that a savoury pie should contain no more than 695 calories.
Public Health England (PHE) said “drastic” measures were needed to combat Britain’s obesity crisis.
Dr Alison Tedstone, PHE chief nutritionist, told the Telegraph:
“It could mean less meat on a pizza, it could mean less cheese, it could mean a smaller size. Consumers are saying they want smaller portions and healthier options.Here's why this is bollocks:
We know that just having healthy options on the menu won’t change the nation’s habits - we need the default option to have fewer calories. The default options for pizzas are margherita and pepperoni pizzas, so we need them to get healthier.”
1 It's not the state's business how much shit we eat or drink, we are all going to die one way or another; let us choose the manner of our death!
2 Consumers have the right to choose the size of pizza, pie etc and then (if they are full) leave some of it for a doggy bag.
3 Restaurants and takeaways will simply flout this nonsense by offering two "government regulation mini" pizzas for the price of one.
All in all this is a disgrace, Nanny should "go away"!

Not a country of shopkeepers. Dubious politicians and their quangos must let shpkeeshopksell what they want. No politician or quango has any business acumen
