Encouraging to see this on an official government website, I’d like to see evidence though, especially with the cash lobbying and stealth bribe donations big food companies make to Parliament.
Always sense smoke and mirrors with these generic announcements, but it is good to see the message is getting through to consumers.
PHE authors of the “Eatbadly Guide”… going for Calorie restriction down to starvation levels… that’s either going to do nothing or launch a whole new generation of under eaters… and all because they can’t accept that Low Carb/Keto could be good for people…
I’m afraid I think it rather sad… that organisation (and its links to the food industry via SACN) should be disbanded immediately.
@Alex_PN sorry to[spoiler] piss[/spoiler] all over your thread but those people are dangerous Alison Tedstone especially…
A survey from Public Health England (PHE) found that around 9 in 10 people support the government working with the food industry to make food healthier.
The trouble lies with their definition of healthy.
I wonder where it’s going wrong though @MarkGossage - because if you look at her background, she’s mega qualified, sits right in the middle of where you’d expect someone with impeccable foundations to be.

She completed post doctorate research in Oxford. She is on the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists held by the Association for Nutrition as a Registered Nutritionist (public health) and as a Fellow.
Closed minded… her entire career is based upon not challenging the status quo so she seems to be incapable of believing she may be wrong abut anything… The worst kind of “scientist” .
THat’s WHY she’s where she is, and why she is desperate to keep the boat from rocking. I mean, you don’t think she’s in the job because her primary goal is to do absolutely anything to improve public health no matter what it is, right? Careers are being protect all up and down the chain, and when you’ve been preaching a method/message for decades, who wants to come out and say they were wrong and you’ve killed any number of people by being intensity and loudly incorrect? Much better to just keep pushing the same old line and keep your big-paying, big-prestige job.
That settles it. If the government are backing CICO… … … … … I’m definitely against it 
You win Mic!!!
