It’s probably down to the new sugar tax, a lot of places won’t get the coke etc with sugar in as it’s too expensive

When I was a kid the same drinks were around then as are now, we still stuffed ourselves with sweets & crisps and fish & chips. I don't ever recall en epidemic of obesity back then. We burnt all the calories off by something that was called exercise. My personal opinion is that this modern health problem has more to do with lifestyle rather than food and drink, and that those who keep themselves fit are being dictated to by the government as to what they should eat and drink. becoming a right old nanny state.

That's correct and the selling off of school playing fields hasn't helped things! When we were kids we would walk miles to do things and still eat (unhealthy ) food/drink.
Given time and we will be dictated to for everything by WAG especially :thumbup:

No it's not correct :thumbright: People are obese, caused by the bombardment of adverts for junk food and fizzy drinks. If you have been brainwashed then carry on but don't expect sympathy and support when you get diabetes!!!!

Where do you shop?

I'v been in Asda and Sainsburys this morning and the first thing you see when you walk through the door are packs of full fat coke etc and, big bars of Galaxy Chocolate and whatever 'sharing' bags they have on offer plus loads of Booze at the entrance.

Sorry people make their own choices if not mentally strong enough to say no to adverts that's individual problem not others. Same for gambling ect ect as for braiwashing who's getting brainwashed into buying no sugar drinks??? And guess sitting in doors 8hrs a day playing xbox ect ect doesn't have anything to do with things? And diebetes would be least of my problems :thumbup:

As if there were no adverts when we were young. We were bombarded with them just the same as now. A Mars a day helps you work rest and play. Yeh, right. I think even as a kid I was'nt gullible enough to fall for that. It was chocolate, and unless you were born without a brain, you know exactly what affect chocolate has if you eat enough of it.

Me too Alan. I think it's obesity that causes it rather than what we eat. We ate all this stuff years ago and diabetes was almost unheard of. We were told to that a Mars a day helped us work and all the rest, then the next minute they were telling us to have a break have a Kit-Kat, then Roses were going to grow on us, and to rub salt into the wound everyone was a Cadbury's Fruit & Nut Case. I guess we did'nt all fall for the adverts, and even if we did we burnt off those calories so never got fat enough to worry about diabetes. ;)
