Leading British doctors will urge the UK government Monday to impose a "fat tax" on junk food and introduce cigarette-style warnings to children about the dangers of poor diets and products high in fat, salt or sugar.

    • Ok, let's stop this ridiculous nannying once and for all. Educate people about healthy eating and then put the nutritional facts on the side of the packaging, but stop there. I think it will take more than a "warning, you're gonna get well fat if you eat this, mate" sign on the side of your maccie ds - you need a change in mindset. How about increasing the hours of PE at schools, cheap local gyms and subsidised sports for everyone?
