Junk food controls need junking


If it is implemented at all the traffic light system of labeling foods under red, amber or green dots - for different categories of which foods are supposed to be healthier for us - is intended only as a guide for those who basically don't know what to choose to eat.


It should never become something for politicians to dictate to the community what we can and cannot eat, certainly not in our children's lunches.

Many health and nutrition experts warn that the traffic light food labelling system is seriously flawed, as was the old food pyramid.

The best way for people to choose what to eat is to understand the choices they make and the impact those choices have on their health.

Of course we also need accurate, detailed, informative labelling to be able to make those choices.

On another topic, Listening to the news last night I'm still left wondering.....

Did the Prime Minister really say that they don't comment on matters of intelligence? …
... Turn It Up.
