yea if they made an effort to include healthier foods in those deals then it would still be a slippery slope to taking away freedoms but at least it would be honest. currently they're just saying eat less food because you can't afford to buy or access more, healthy or unhealthy, unless you have money, then you can be as fat as you want.

the two for one deal lead to overconsumption and food waste for a lot of people too. however, I understand how it easily fires back at poor people. It sorta depends if it is on sweets and such or healthy foods. like if u r low on money your first goal is probably not little nutritious food or empty calories (most of the time)
idk leaving those 2 cents here even tho they probably already said
it is specifically targeting fast food, the issue here is that healthier food options are usually more expensive and aren't included in bogof deals, some families don't have much choice in this. They need to educate people on healthier foods, and I'm not just talking about the food pyramid but also how to prep healthier meals and make em tasty. Then they also need healthier foods more accessible, is there any healthy food take away places? Usually not, so what about the hard working families that don't have the time or energy to make food every day? Or students who want a cheap treat for rewarding their hard work? A lot of issues go into this and yes there is food waste but there are also families that heavily rely on deals to feed their family.the two for one deal lead to overconsumption and food waste for a lot of people too. however, I understand how it easily fires back at poor people.
