Local Chippy's to be Banned

Birmingham’s Public Health Director Jim McManus wants the power to ban your local chip shop or to be able to force them to sell less fatty foods.

He wants health to be a major issue in planning applications for new fast food outlets. In my opinion this along with other recent intrusions in to our freedom of choice all smacks a little bit of “Big Brother”

I can see a new “health tax” in the offing in the not too distant future, where anything deemed not good for you is highly taxed.
