What a load of nonsense. I bet the retailers fell off their chairs laughing.The BBC article says: "Ministers say it will be up to food retailers to decide how they do that, but it could involve offering promotions on healthy food, tweaking loyalty points to incentivise healthy options, or changing shop layouts."

Just another divert from Labour to try and divert away from Labours latest attack on the people. This is another Wes streeting silly idea. He has been in enough doctors medical centres and hospital to see for himself that some of the most overweight and unhealthy are health professionals themselves. Who is going to take dietry advice from someone who has more issues than you?

Nanny State, surely he must realise that a lot of people have no choice but to eat processed and unhealthy food due to monetary constraints
