I'd be interested to see what viewing figures that post mortem had. It should have been on 1 or 2 though.

Granted there are different local efforts like your town but the overall stats aren't improving or reversing this. There's inadequate policy, considering what steps could have been taken but were ignored by May.

It's quite tricky to judge but I'd say the 'slow change' you might see is not nearly enough unfortunately. Probably not even enough to counteract the 980,000 that already have type 2 diabetes but don't even know it. All speculation obviously but if the data hasn't changed then the initiatives aren't going far enough. Anecdotally, I use the packaging info more than other shoppers, and that's way more than I see fats doing.
