British Nanny Statists Go After Pizza

If you like pizza, that is one more reason to oppose moonbattery. From Airstrip One:

Pizzas must shrink or lose their toppings under Government plans to cap the calories in thousands of meals sold in restaurants and supermarkets. …

Under the draft proposals, a standard pizza for one should contain no more than 928 calories – far less than many sold by takeaways, restaurants and shops.

The pretext is Britain’s alleged obesity crisis.

[Government healthcare bureaucrat Alison] Tedstone said it was not enough for restaurants to offer healthy options, saying Britain’s weight problem would only be tackled if the calorie content of most foods was cut.

Other tyrannical proposals included in this war on food include:

calorie counts on restaurant menus, a ban on advertising of unhealthy foods on television before the 9pm watershed, and the removal of such goods from checkouts and two-for-one deals.

The regs affecting pizza will also restrict pies, ready meals, sandwiches, cooking sauces, soups, burgers, and processed meats.

But there is good news. The daily ration of Victory Gin will be raised from 50mL to 45mL, in celebration of recent success in the war against Eastasia.
