Spuds you like? (c) R Dennison June 2013
Fate is cruel. Potatoes are vegetables, however chips do not count as one of the recommended daily allowance of five portions of fruit, or veg, we are meant to consume.
Salford council has taken a step toward mandating healthy eating for their residents by outlawing the sale of chips, from new outlets, before 5pm. They are consulting on whether those items should only be available within 400 metres of a school after that watershed. I suspect there is a tension between healthy eating policy aims and hungry youth. Fast food retailers must be holding their breath too.
There may be trouble ahead.
