Nanny's Snack Tax

As per the Guardian:

"A snack tax of 20% on biscuits, cakes and sweets would have “a huge impact” on obesity levels in the UK and be more effective than the current levy on colas and other sugary drinks, say experts."

These "experts" do know that 20% VAT is already levied on snacks don't they?

Plain Packaging For Sweets

Nanny is intent on sucking every morsel of fun out of life.

As such, it should come as no surprise to learn that the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has suggested sweets, snacks and sugary drinks should be wrapped in plain packaging to make them less appealing.

It will make no farking difference whatsoever!

Nanny Bans Sweets at Checkouts

Nanny is to unveil a sweeping ban on shops offering unhealthy snacks and sweets at checkouts in a bid to clamp down on soaring obesity rates and poor dental health.

The Mail on Sunday understands that health officials plan to roll out the restriction in the coming weeks despite most major supermarkets already removing products voluntarily.

The move is part of Nanny’s plan to halve childhood obesity in England by 2030. 

However, most major supermarkets such as Tesco and Waitrose have already banned sweets and chocolate from being stocked near tills. Therefore I would have to question what is the point of legislating after the horse has voluntarily gone into the stable?

I would also note that moving sweets from one end of the shop to another will not make the slightest difference to the levels of obesity (real or imagined) in Britain!

Nanny Bans Sweets

Nanny has pledged to "help close the deprivation gap" by looking at why children from poorer areas are more than twice as likely to be overweight.

Nanny's plan is to encourage all primary schools to introduce a daily "active mile" for children. Official advice recommends children should do 60 minutes of activity per day.

The measures, which will open for consultation by the end of the year, include:

• Banning the sale of sweets and snacks at checkouts, shop entrances and in buy-one-get-one-free deals
• New restrictions on advertising unhealthy food to children on TV and online, which could include a pre-9pm ban
• Clear calorie labelling in restaurants, cafes and takeaways, to help families know what they are eating
• Ending the sale of energy drinks containing high levels of caffeine, to children

It beggars belief that a Conservative government is now so obsessed with micro managing people's lives!

The above restrictions won't make the slightest difference; it is not the state's role to manage what kids eat, it's the parents who should manage their kids' diets.

Tax Sweets Too - The Rise of The Wowsers

Nanny's chums from the charity Action on Sugar are of the view that the the sugar tax on drinks (coming in next year) doesn't go far enough.

As such they also want a tax on sweets.

Yawn!

There is a certain type of person, with a sad and empty life, who fills their personal void by "saving others" even if they don't want to be saved.

The Australians call these people "Wowsers".

Following reports of the downsizing of Quality Street tins over the years, Nestle have responded saying it's not true.

As per the Telegraph a Nestlé spokesman said:

"This image does not compare like for like. 

As well as the 780g tub pictured, we also have a 1.3kg tin available which lovers of Quality Street might like to try this Christmas. 

We want to give the best possible value for money and we believe that this product is still extremely competitive."

Nanny Bans Entrepreneur

Commiserations to entrepreneur Tommie Rose (a 15 year old schoolboy attending Buile High School in Salford) who has fallen foul of Nanny.

Tommie has been earning a living (£14K thus far) selling sweets from his own "tuck shop" to his school chums, in order to fund a university pace at Oxbridge where he hopes to study business.

Sadly for Tommie Nanny doesn't approve of his activities, and has been threatened with suspension.

For why?

His tuck shop apparently breaches healthy-eating guidelines!

James Inman, the head teacher at Buile Hill school, is quoted by the Telegraph: 

“We admire this pupil’s entrepreneurship but school is not the place to set up a black market of fizzy drinks, sweets and chocolates. 

We have extremely high standards and with our healthy-eating policy we don’t allow isotonic drinks, fizzy drinks and large amounts of sweets for the good of our children.”

To be honest Tommie should not despair. He has shown more intelligence, get up and go and entrepreneurial spirit than he would ever learn at university. He should stuff the degree, and go straight into business when he leaves school.

Nanny Loves Sweets

Now here's a very odd thing indeed, yesterday I wrote about Nanny banning chocolate on a school trip and conducting a quasi "drug" search of a room to look for chocolate bars etc, yet I also see that Anna Soubry (Nanny's public health minister) said in an interview with trade magazine The Grocer that there is nothing wrong with sweets:

“It’s up to us as individuals to lead healthy lives. 

There’s a responsibility that the supermarkets have, but it’s important for us to take the industry with us, rather than impose things on them.”

Ms Soubry added that it was not the job of the Government to tell supermarkets where they should put their "guilt" shelves (ie the chocolate laden shelves designed to force kids to force their parents to buy them chocolate).

This despite the fact that under a new industry code of practice being drawn up by the Department of Health, stores will be urged to put an end to cheap deals on fatty products, stop funnelling shoppers past rows of unhealthy foods, and spend a fixed amount from their marketing budgets on lower-calorie foods.

Ms Soubry said:

"Guilt lanes is a horrible, horrible expression.

I dislike it intensely - the idea that if you treat yourself you should feel guilty. It's absolute nonsense. 

I just said no to my children. I didn't particularly feel pressured. I can understand that some people find it difficult, particularly when it is aimed at children. 

But there's nothing wrong with sweets. We just want people to put them in sensible balanced diets - and it's not the job of government to tell supermarkets where to put their shelves."

Hoozah!
