Power “Hungry”

junk food

I see NHS Medway are at it again. This time they want to restrict the building of fast food outlets.

Fast-food outlets could be banned from operating near schools in Medway as part of an effort to cut child obesity.

More meddling from the Righteous. Their justification is..

The obesity rate among Year 6 children for 2008/9 in Medway is 19.4%, above the national average of 18.3%.

Oh dear you might say. Something must be done for the sake of those poor cheeeldren.

But then in the same article this figure is quoted.

The statistics also showed the rate had dropped from 20.4% in 2007/08.

Huh?

I think this is power for power’s sake, and a desire to protect these Health Fascists professionals’* jobs.

It might be a better idea if they just got on with the job that we pay them for. Healing the sick.

I’m off for a burger.

* I use the term professional loosely here, very loosely.

  1. Eating habits are formed at the dining table.

    If you feed your kid shite when they are growing up, they will get a taste for it.

    Fast food need not be unhealthy. It is very easy to make a healthy meal quickly. And I am not talking about bastard Tofu, and other hippy culinary abominations.

    I still can't stand Sprouts though, despite my Mother's best efforts when I was growing up.

  3. What if an adult lives near a school and wants to buy some fast food?
    We live in an adult world, not never never land.

  5. Does Medway council have more lunatics than the average council because 'down our way' Barrow-in-Furness formerly in Lancashire but stuck in shitty Cumbria since 1974, thanks Maggie, we only have a few loonies and they don't come up with the same shit you southerners have to put up with.

    The waste money of course on things that don't matter and benefit no-one not even themselves but they just don't seem to be as carzy as those in Medway.
