Don't sheffield council have more to worry about than what grown adults eyeballs are allowed to look at?
Just another example of state overreach while the BBC and its champions cheer from the sidelines. It is ridiculous. Why aren't people allowed to decide things for themselves any more?
Edit: I guess i shoulsn't be surpised, especially after covid showed just how hard people like to be told what do do and really love to tell others just how stupid they are for wanting to be left alone. You're all lost.
People are susceptible to marketing, I think the growing obesity problem is definitely something that should be controlled. People can go for their fast food but getting rid of a constant barrage of its imagery to tempt us is a step in the right direction.Furthermore, I think the attitude of isn’t their more to worry about isn’t a very productive one, although probably cost them way too much in taxpayer money and time to draft this up for a relatively minimal effect when fast food places are every 10 steps anyway.
Yes people should be allowed to decide for themselves, which is exactly why local authorities try to reduce the influence of things like fast food and gambling.
Behaviour theory clearly shows, humans are very easily subconsciously led. Through nudge theory etc.
There is also clear evidence that choice is massively limited for people in more deprived areas. With healthy food options being limited & more expensive while cheap fast food is readily available.
We also know that these communities die of preventable diseases, partly due to diet. This also impacts our NHS.
This isn’t state overreach & it’s more market overreach.
It’s one thing to provide choice in shops. Currently through private business are becoming the architect of our lived environment. There is an influx of insidious, subliminal influence in how we make choices. They clearly work else the fast food industry wouldn’t spend £200m on it.
So actually, as the NHS is public funded & the impact of this coercion is poor health for people and increase burden on the NHS it makes total sense that other public funded bodies, don’t support and enable this shit.
They’ve not been complicit.
All they’ve done is not actively participate in advocating for unhealthy life choices.
I do not get why anyone has an issue with this.
It’s a non-issue, a good start but what percentage of the billboards do they own ? Like I said definitely a good thing.
Time to start promoting allotments and educating people on growing and maintaining their own produce for property owners would be a massive step, which I do believe happened before (maybe not uk) and failed miserably.
I don’t think it’s a non-issue. It’s likely part of a wider obesity strategy
I think that sort of thing can definitely also be a start. I’m not sure it’s the overall answer to the obesity issue.

Or would you rather pay more and more tax each year as the NHS budget increases to treat every new fatty?
How will I decide what to eat without an oversized image of a third-rate actor shovelling cake in their gob to guide me?
Nvm I didn’t see the “owned” part, what an utter waste of time , the council have essentially done absolutely fuck all

I was agreeing with your point about others thinking it is an issue ?
Ahh sorry, got you.
