So they ban it because of high saturated fat? Saturated fat is good for humans, we are designed to use it, low fat diets are not good for humans.
And before anybody pipes up, saturated fat does not cause heart disease. Anybody who says this is lying.
TfL are highly misinformed.
This sort of thing has always been a concern when trying to work out how to classify healthy/unhealthy, unprocessed/processed/ultra processed etc etc.
It sounds something straightforward to do, but like many things when you actually get down to the detail there are all sorts of anomalies.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with consuming cheese in moderation. Anything done to excess is going to be unhealthy.The government’s attempts to promote healthier lifestyles are always insincere, ill-informed and purely cosmetic.
Do some reading, get a solid understanding of nutrition and make your own dietary decisions.
Basically trans fats are a hard no, saturated fats are a “show moderation”, unsaturated fats are fine.
Cheese should be eaten in moderation but banning the advert seem wild without more context.
>“[Adverts featuring food with] high saturated fat, high salt, or high sugar will be banned, because they believe that leads to childhood obesity,” he said.
Still hearing McDogshit ads on the radio…
Cheese, especially artisanal cheese, feels like a very low level offender when it comes to people’s unhealthy diets.
Plus every time I catch the tube there’s always the giant Jack Daniels adverts
Infantilising the populace again. Everything is unhealthy if you eat too much of it. Everybody knows that too. It’s nobody’s fault but your own if you binge on pounds of Stilton
