Beer, hamburgers and football
The British government has told food pubs they have a responsibility to safeguard the health of the nation, but according to a poll from publican.com, coverage of news and developments in the pub market, customers must take responsibility for their own health. Only 14% think customers must act now to stop the obesity epidemic and that we are all involved.
In this context things become very strange when a party of 16 Labour MPs and one Conservative were handed GBP 399 flights as well as GBP 130-a-night hotel rooms courtesy of McDonald's, only paying the cover price for their tickets to the England v France clash at Euro 2004. Wakefield Today says Mr Hinchliffe, who chairs the House of Commons health select committee, had called on the FA to drop McDonalds as a GPB 30m sponsor saying: 'As a leading sporting organisation it ought to be setting an example.'
Brave moral standpoint, but how can you expect people, or even worse, MPs, who don't show real solidarity with the fight against obesity, to reject beer, hamburgers, and football?
