Obesity is not down to a gene, or we would see over weight people pre the 1970s and through-out history. Obesity is down to additives, processed foods, sugar added to everything, which has trained our taste buds to expect it, less physical jobs, more driving everywhere, less sport in schools and less physical activity in general. TOO MANY CALORIES. Think about it logically for just one second, if eating less didn’t mean we lost weight drugs like Mounjaro & Ozempic wouldn’t work. Weeks on an island with Bear Grylls wouldn’t we people lose weight, bypass operations wouldn’t work. It wont help us to lie or give excuses. If we want to find solutions, like everything we have to be truthful.

When I vote I don't want unaffordable tax cuts. I want hospital beds. Libraries reopening. Trains that run on time. Kids who aren't too hungry to learn. Rivers that don't run with slurry. Local councils not bankrupted. Politicians who don't venally line their own pockets.

Where to bloody start? There isn't enough British food to buy because the crass, malformed, malignant clown-show of Brexit that you promoted, has undermined food production, courtesy of ill-thought out subsidies. Plus, brexit-driven border controls have stymied imports.
We shouldn’t be reliant on foreign food. Buy British.

We're now loosing 50+ pubs a month. Meanwhile, gas is half the price it was in Oct 21. 5 x cheaper than March 22. 7 x cheaper than Aug 22. The Energy firms are ripping the heart out of our High Streets. @ofgem CEO/Board should resign or be sacked.
