Wow.
Wow, wow wow.
How's this for the dumbest thing you've ever heard a country do to help combat obesity - England has just turned over the reins for it's already crappy Change4Life program (I've blogged about it before) to the food industry and in return for Big Food's help the government's already promised not to mess with them anymore when it comes to things like labeling, taxes or other nutritional regulations or reforms.
I have no words and as regular readers know, it's tough to render me speechless.
Wow.

"Moral: Expect no public health messages about eating less, or further restrictions on health claims from this campaign."[Here's The Observer's scathing editorial about the decision.]
