re: Predictable Reactions to Tougher UK Junk Food Ad Bans on TV

This TV flap in the UK is "Much Ado About (Next To) Nothing".

The real problem, NOT being addressed, is a giant TSUNAMI of "glucose" or "iso-glucose" (the UK and EU labeling for America's High Fructose Corn Syrup) in their food chain, and the continued trend of latch key children not to have parental supervision as to dietary guidance.

Many more meals are consumed in the UK these days (unlabeled) out side the home, than purchased from super market selves (food service and fast/junk food and convenience stores or vending machines).

CHEAP and DANGEROUS to health, over consumption of 'glucose' UK laden soda, candy, ice cream, fast and junk food, unlabeled meals, etc., leads to triglyceride build up in the human blood stream (the precursor and building block of LDL Cholesterol) or is stored as body fat (adipose tissue), as well as leading to insulin resistance, diabetes, hypoglycemia, Syndrome X, cardio vascular disease, obesity, some forms of cancer and premature DEATH.

While the food industry tries to spin and rage indignation over a few TV spots, the real issue is their CHEAP and UNHEALTHY bulking ingredients in the products they are producing, in the UK, in the EU, and most certainly the USA, because it is PROFTABLE to do so.
