Welcome to Wales

The Welsh government are seriously concerned about the country's obesity pandemic. Two thirds of Welsh folk are obese or overweight. This has a major impact on costly medical provision. The Assembly consequently want to ban '2 for 1' supermarket deals of unhealthy foods. They are also looking into popular 'meal deals', that often have excessive calories as well as high levels of sugar and/or salt. Folk eating many 'meal deals'are certain to put on weight (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jun/27/wales-to-clamp-down-on-junk-food-meal-deals-to-tackle-obesity). This is happening earlier than is planned for England. Money is certainly tight for folk in the current 'cost of living crisis', but poor health could cost them more!
