Consumers: We Are Not To Be Trusted With Our Diets

Put something before us and it seems that it’s likely we’ll gobble it up. By the looks of it we’ve eaten all the fish in the sea and now it looks like we’ll eat anything a fast food restaurant or confectionary manufacturer will offer us.

Of course there has been some worry about all this and on the heels of McDonalds, confectionary giants in the UK have pulled their supersize-me ‘King Size’ chocolate bars for the health of the nation. And perhaps to stem the flow of government regulation on what we are offered as food.

With the news that we’re all now rejecting the idea of ‘diet beer’ (thank goodness) PSFK wonders if we’ll see some legislation making us all drink sugarless and tastless beer sometime very soon. Nothing will much change at my local then.
