TV ban on adverts for cheese, the latest 'junk food'
Cheese is to be treated as junk food under new advertising rules for children's television. Commercials promoting it will be banned during children's TV programmes and those with a large proportion of young viewers.
The rules, which come into force this month, are part of a Government drive to reduce children's exposure to foods high in fat, salt and sugar. Much to the disgust of its makers, cheese is to be regarded in the same light as crisps, sugary cereals and cheeseburgers. In fact, under the criteria used by the Food Standards Agency to determine junk foods, such products are actually regarded as healthier than cheese.

Why are you so willing to surrender personal choice regardless if you personally take advantage of that choice or not? Sooner or later they'll get to something you like to do, eat, see, or drink recreationally or socially.

That is my problem with the concept. Again the citizens aren't smart enough or are too easily influence to allow for personal accountability. How much do you need to blame someone else for your life, your over drinking, overeating, over-anything? Is the majority oriented submissive?
