My family is already healthy and the crisps we buy are backed not fried. I don't go to the shops to buy unhealthy snacks.

No, not . But, I like the idea of the showing calories thing in restaurants but wouldn’t also just discourage people to eat if the meal because it has high calories?

Because I am an athlete I already eat healthy

#First to comment! YAY!

Why is no one else here?

I think that we should eat healthily, but still have junk food from time to time.

I don't think so, I eat healthy anyway and why are they doing it now? When so many people have problems, they could have done it 1 000 years ago!

I'll definitely try to eat more healthy and exercise more with the government’s new campaign but I doubt it will do much.

The rules will not get rid off the problem but they could help quite a bit especially for a start

Yes, I think it is time that new rules be put in to improve health in Britain. The most helpful rule, in my opinion, would be putting the calorie count in each food in restaurants on the menu. This will raise awareness for people eating, as they would most likely choose the food with the lowest or a lower calorie intake.
Also, if adverts promoting unhealthy foods are banned, people will be less inclined to buy them. For example, if a brand advertised their newest, unhealthiest food with an offer, customers would go and buy it.

Ummm yes they would help me to eat more healthily. But my family eats a lot of crisps...I am not worried about me not eating crisps and stuff because I am fairly skinny, and I exercise a lot 🚴🏻‍♀️🤽🏻‍♀️🤼‍♀️⛹🏼‍♀️

They won't make me healthier because I don't go shopping anyway (my parents do) and anyway we don't buy much junk food

Yes, over time but not in a hurry.

is right

I think that the rules the Government have put in place will stop us from impulse buying junk food that won't really fill us up and instead will encourage people to start thinking about what they are really eating.

I hardly ever watch TV, and I never get any unhealthy food at the checkouts anyway. My family already eats healthily enough in my opinion.

I think it will help bc all the adverts you see at bus stops or on banners encourages u to want that food

The new rules will probably not stop people buying unhealthy snacks to take home. As long as the packet looks enticing, people will buy the food without checking the label. And while advertising unhealthy foods might limit the craving for them, when you're on the high street and you spot your favourite fast food restaurant you'll go right in and eat whatever you want.

However, I feel that banning chocolates, crisps and sweets at checkouts and including calories on the menu would be the most effective new rules. At checkouts, people are about to buy the things in their basket or trolley, and so it's easy to just grab the enticing chocolate near the counter and go. If they're banned, you would instead have to be in the unhealthy snack isle to see it. This means it would prevent non-unhealthy-food-thinking people from eating something unhealthy, but it wouldn't stop those who usually buy such things from buying them. Putting the calories next to the food option in a menu is a great way to make the customer aware of what they're asking for, and so they might look for a healthier option if they find the one that they're looking at contains a lot of calories. Although, it may cause eating disorders in many people.

No because people have already seen and eaten the food they like so they won't stop

I don’t think these rules will do much difference to how healthily we are eating. But it’s extremely important that we are aware of how much sugar we have in a day etc.

I am already encouraged to eat healthy snacks and sugary things now and again
I always get the zero sugar drinks so I am fine 🍇🍉🍊🍋🍌🍍🍎🍏🍐🍑🍒🍓🥝

If we eat healthily we will be better people prettier and kinder because of our diet

yes because some kids are sooo fat

Seriously, are the government saying that we are not being healthy. I think we can be healthy ourselves if we want to.

I think that the government should of put a bit more in there plans for obsese people

YES THE NEW RULES WILL DEFINATLY HELP

Its good to eat healthily. It keeps your body healthy.
