Should the Government be allowed to determine Fat, Sugar and Salt content in our food?

Here's the way I see it;

The government has no problem allowing people to damage their health with alcohol, tobacco, and other harmful substances, so they should leave their collective hooters out of the sugar, fat, and salt argument as well.

Late on parade again, but still 19 stones 13 pounds!

I reckon it's less to eat next week! lol

Ron I know how you feel I only need to look at food and I seem to put weight on, Iam overweight for my age at 18 stone 7pounds.

I will join with you and try to loose some more weight this week before my trip to UK  

In for pre-op assessment for new knee tomorrow Neil so what will be will be. At the moment it's bone on bone and very painful.

In my case they tell me that there is a chance of a dormant infection from an injury 50 years ago coming back to life when they give me the new knee.

I asked what then? The specialist hesitated and said, weeeeell we have antibiotics buuut! But what I asked, what are you saying? He replied, if they don't work we will have to discuss other matters. Like what I asked, he looked at me and said.....amputation!

So basically I go in with two legs and might come out with one! Not much I can say about that is there? There are still lots of people worse off than me so I still consider myself lucky.

Good grief Ron, that's a bit extreme. What I find amazing is that an infection can lay dormant for all those years.

All the best from David and myself, fingers crossed that everything is just fine. A friend of ours had a knee replacement 6 weeks ago and he's getting through it quite well, let's hope it's the same for you
