It is the most extraordinary arrogance from politicians. If Wes fucking Streeting thinks that making our food disgusting and non-nutritious is both good and popular, then he can put it is his manifesto, the shit.

These people are so utterly loathe some that one can only conclude that they are demons put on Earth to torture us. Bastards, bastards, bastards.

If the official food nutrition guidelines were not such utter crap things would improve markedly. Get rid of seed oils, admit there are no essential carbohydrates and we have been preferentially eating saturated fat since before we were human, so are probably adapted to it by now.

These people won’t like being called fascists, but that is exactly what they are. I would happily drive Streeting’s steam roller over both him, Woolnough and every other effing busybody.

The British political class have an instinct for getting things wrong....to "have left undone those things which they ought to have done; And done those things which ought not to have been done; And there is no health in them."

If they try and reformulate food they should be punished via private force.
