Labour Pushes To Ban Cartoon Characters From Cereal Packets

[naomi24]

//Tony the Tiger and other cartoon characters on cereal packets face being banned under a Labour government. Party deputy leader Tom Watson will today urge the advertising industry to stop using such images on sugar-laden products aimed at children.
If they refuse, a Labour government would bring in much stricter rules as part of the war against obesity.//

Nannying going too far – or do initiatives like this work?

Treats back in the day (thinking only just post war times) were not as readily available as they are today. Not to mention sugar content in foods has gone through the roof.

Prices of food, i'm not sure of the changes.

Nannying going too far in my opinion. I HATE living in a nanny state just because some parents are too thick or just don't care to look after their kids properly ! I am an adult and can decide for myself whether or not to have sugary drinks and sugary cereal and I like sugary things. I'm not obese by the way !

youngmafbog, there were very few tubbies, so what has changed?
processed food and lazy parents, mostly the latter, i know of one family who leave there one yr old or there abouts in a creche all day
as they work, i find it odd, have a child then leave it all day to a stranger that you pay, then go to work, question? why have said child in the first place, iv been told child was planned..

What picture would Labour advocate on their cereal packets to deter obesity? Dianne Abacus perhaps.
