In the midst of a cost of living crisis, will this not simply push the poorest further into destitution?
You don’t see half as many BOGOF deals these days anyway, it’s all „member price discounts“ so they can better farm your data and target their adds.
Holy fuck. Can the government just fuck off and punish bad people instead of making everyone’s lives miserable?? Why are we all being put into unnecessary inconvenience because of few brain dead people who shouldn’t be let out in the world??
Few people speed in their cars? Everyone needs to fuck up their car with speed bumps!
Few people watch hardcore porn and rape others? No one can watch porn without exposing themselves!
Few people eat themselves to death and let their children get fat? No one can eat unhealthy foods!
Few people stab each other in gang disputes? No one can buy a knife or fork without showing an ID!
Few people send dick picks on dating apps? Ban them!!
How about enforcing the law properly instead of making everyone’s lives shit???
Things like this and the attempts to expand the ban beyond just England are a very damning indicator of how out of touch politicians are with the average person.
As with the sugar tax, people aren’t buying unhealthy products *because* they’re unhealthy. They’re buying them because they’re what they can afford.
Deliberately pricing them out of their range *will* lead to less consumption of unhealthy food. But it will also lead to more people being pushed harder towards the poverty line as their shopping bill increases because they’re not actually making the healthy food cheaper. So the unhealthy food will become more expensive than the healthy food, but the healthy food will remain above current unhealthy pricing.
What is it with this country’s obsession with nanny statism?
Government should have bigger priorities than this.
What a waste of time.
I haven’t seen a BOGOF for ages in a supermarket
I’m a 40 year old 6ft man who weighs 12 stone 8 and can run 5k in just under 20 minutes, I’m already angry about the sugar tax that means I have to pay more for real coke, if I want to eat 2 family sized bars of dairy milk in one sitting I’m going to
I can’t remember the last time I saw a BOGOF offer
I genuinely don’t think I’ve seen a buy one get one free deal in at least 10 years.
This government is really pissing me off, it’s amazing that I can even say that after 13 years of Tories
Nice underhanded way to continue the messaging that poor = bad choices. Comment sections shows its working well.
Always being punished because of the lowest common denominators can’t be trusted to look after themselves or their children
This is like when they imposed sugar tax. All it does is make poor people poorer, because people need b better education around healthy eating and how to make healthy meals.
Mind you, fresh produce is so expensive now, even if there was more education around healthy eating, there’s a strong chance people wouldn’t be able to afford the ingredients. It’s quicker and cheaper to buy a ready meal.
Instead of raising prices or stopping deals on unhealthy foods, they should make healthy options more affordable.
So, to get people to buy your stupid unhealthy shit, double the price and mark it as „buy one get one free“ to force them to buy too.
Good ban, but it just depends on what they define as „unhealthy food“
