Supermarket shelves in Wales to soon look very different after introduction of food ban

Presumably a pizza can still be half price, and you could still choose to buy two. It's only deals that force people to buy more than they might otherwise do to get the discount that's a problem.

"PRICE JUST REDUCED" I can see the new offer plans to get around these rules right now. As long as they slap it on every item where the price was reduced it should be fine. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out as generally stores only use BOGOF type offers when they haven't sold as many as they expected and need to shift stock. Which probably means more food waste when predictions of customer demand don't come true.

A very sensible policy. Consideration should also be given to copying other countries: Canadian supermarkets do not sell alcohol and hotels restrict alcohol consumption to bars / restaurants only - so not in rooms. France has lots of motorway service stations that focus on selling healthy meals (UK does not), lorry drivers restaurants are excellent https://www.relais-routiers.com/ and major chains such as https://www.flunch.fr/ sell healthy meals. If we drank less and ate better the NHS should have fewer patients treated from unhealthy lifestyles. Change often happens when there is a profit incentive; the Senedd / Chambers need to work with Flunche to open a chain of Welsh restaurants based in city / town centres.

The nanny state! Soon we will be told what colour clothes to wear, so that's the freedom of speech gone now the freedom to choose going and I can expect a knock on the door front the police now for typing this message, wake up Wales.

Yet again lazy people and politicians blaming food when should be banning electric bikes of all kinds, electric scooters as so many people especially children don't walk, kids being dropped of to school 5 mins down the road, given tablets, phones etc from age of 2 just to keep them quiet, parks with drunks, druggies and homeless people keeping parents away that's if your council keeps them usable and don't sell the land off, no school sports teams for fear of being sued, mc donalds when i was a kid was a treat not a must have like now just because parents want to be cool and your friend instead of the people teaching children good habits, every doctor tells you a balanced diet and plenty of exercise not eat healthily and sit on your backside, I can count on one hand how many times I've been to the doctors or hospital in last 30 years, I don't eat what people call a healthy diet but I cycle 4 miles almost every day and do 10000 steps every day and im not obese. Start dealing with all the issues not just targeting one easy target.

They take off comments that don't match their policy

Are you one of those people then lol

Too many BOGOFs just disadvantage smaller households and encourage waste. But I doubt we'll see many half price offers in their place

The same people who will bang on about the nanny state will want the same nanny state government to give them free weight loss drugs to help with their self-inflicted obesity.

Well we'll, at least I won't be getting a knock on my door from the Internet police today. When individuals make assumptions about other people and try to humiliate them in PRINT whilst trying to big themselves up, shows how silly some people can behave and think that is normal. Saving with a screenshot, done.

Just what is going on in this country now.? when a bunch of people are telling us what we should or should not eat, this bunch of people should mind their own business, and keep their views to themselves.or perhaps you would prefer to live somewhere like Russia where everything you do is controlled by the government, this country is going to the dogs at the moment wake up for god's sake.

Should have gone further,

I doubt this will make a significant difference. The main issue in Western countries is inactivity due to our car-centred societies. We need to start building our urban areas around people again. We need more children walking or cycling to school instead of being driven, and more adults walking or cycling to work. People who do this regularly are healthier and happier than people who don't. It's going to be hard because you're fighting against decades of car centric design but if we don't want the NHS to collapse under the weight of diabetes and obesity it's the only way that will work.

With all the things the qelsh goverment could do to fix wales and this is it, what a waste of taxpayers cash, I want my taxes back

Why not BOGOF deals on fruit and veg??? How often do you see that?

About time. Supermarkets have always been about the bottom line and use a lot of clout from ad agencies etc. that build systems to dangle the bad stuff at you. Lets see how this runs.
