Time for change?

[T00ts]

The Labour party conference is full of it with a 10 year plan for just about everything and included in that was a change in the NHS. If anyone had the bright idea of creating an NHS today it wouldn't look remotely like the one we are lumbered with but that apart - we hear so much about teaching us what to eat. About losing weight, less alcohol (which isn't such a bad idea as a matter of fact) but no-one anywhere seems to hold the food manufacturers to account for the poison that they are currently passing off as 'healthy'

Too many foods now are full stuff known to cause cancer as well as obesity yet they still dominate the shelves instore. I went shopping this morning and had to really search for foods with minimum ingredients. I cook from basics all the time but even a decent loaf of bread with 5 or fewer ingredients starts a treasure hunt.

Food companies need to start being honest - but I guess why should they when profits are so high. A few cancerous deaths won't bother them.
