Big Brother loves you 08:38 - Jul 15 with 1023 views | Boundy | The Welsh government is considering banning free drink refills at restaurants and cafés as part of new health proposals. Health Secretary Eluned Morgan has launched a consultation aimed at restricting "promotions of food products high in fat, sugar, and salt". The proposals include: - Banning free drink refills at popular spots like Nando's and Five Guys. - Restricting buy-one-get-one-free and other promotional offers on unhealthy foods. - Prohibiting placement of high-fat, sugar, and salt products in prominent store locations and online. The government says these steps are about "supporting people in Wales to make the healthy choice" and improving our food environment. 🍏 | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

And in the end the only thing that is guaranteed is it will cost people more money. People won't drink less fizzy stuff because of this, they will just have to pay more for it. Maybe they should try legislating so that healthy food is actually cheaper? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Exactly, what affect has the minimum Unit Price on alcohol had, other than making it more expensive in Wales than England. When governed by a bunch of clowns, we shouldn't be surprised if they run the country like Billy Smarts circus. | ![](/images/avatars/8685.gif) |

There is no evidence from anywhere around the world which shows that these policies lead to a reduction in weight, obesity or even overall calorie intake. Since 1993 the proportion of adults in England who are overweight or obese has risen from 52.9% to 64.3%, and the proportion who are obese has risen from 14.9% to 28.0%. | ![](/images/avatars/8685.gif) |

Big Brother loves you on 00:55 - Jul 16 with 629 views | AnotherJohn | One thing that bemuses me is that there are a worryingly large number of voters who are willing (and even eager) to give up personal decision-making power and let others decide what is good for them. It is as though they do not think they can be trusted to govern themselves. We see it in the Senedd nanny statism, and also in the yearning of many to rejoin the EU and allow others to make rules that our Parliament cannot change. I wonder if part of this goes back to the Kinnock days when a Labour election victory appeared unachievable, and the Party moved away from Euroscepticism to pin its hopes on EU social protection rules that any UK government would be forced to accept. If I were a young person, the thing I'd be worried about is the future of private car ownership. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The state has to do something about the surgery fixation. The UK government could use Wales as a testing zone . Will these schemes have any effect.

Already happening, https://www.standard.co.uk/news/health/sugar-tax-cut-adult-intake-two-teaspoons- We can only hop that the changes at the top of Welsh labour mean a different approach and (even more hopefully) Labour in Westminster keep a lid on thr Senedd's worst excesses. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
