In a bid to tackle obesity, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has told restaurants - including Pizza Express and Starbucks - that they must cut portion sizes of puddings or face being named and shamed.
If restaurants choose to ignore Hunt (we would), he will publish a list of the restaurants with the biggest puddings.
What could possibly go wrong?
Anyone know where i can find such places that have been shamed? Asking for a friend....... https://t.co/WvDF0L9mlx— David McGarry (@David McGarry) 1475223246
As you can imagine, the idea of a pudding list was welcomed by the masses.
So there's going to be a list of restaurants that do large puddings, as they are bad for you! I'll use that as a good food guide.— A load of (@A load of) 1475221392
I do look forward to them labelling restaurants with the largest puddings...— Louie Stowell (@Louie Stowell) 1475218657
Looking forward to ordering an exceptionally large and calorific pudding for lunch today https://t.co/xMv56nDJop— John Chilver (@John Chilver) 1475225264
In a private meeting, Hunt told 100 food companies that "doing nothing was not an option."
Going out to eat is no longer a treat. It's a regular habit for many families and is contributing significantly to the extra calories and sugar that we all consume on a daily basis.
At first you came for our NHS, Hunt. Back off our cake.
