Meal Deals

[Neath_Jack]

Seems strange to me but all opinions are valid I suppose. One less Labour MP just makes tory government more likely.

Yeah you've said as much previously when I wrote something similar.

So meal deals are not disappearing?

Speaking from personal preference, I am drawn by lure of a sandwich / drink / side combo and away from the unhealthy pasty or pie alternative.

I actually drove past Tanygroes Bakery last week, there's a first for everything :lol:

Meal deals are not going anywhere.

Drakeford is one of the few politicians that genuinely cares about people.

He's an idiot and a control freak. So what's he going to do about McDonald's, KFC, Pizza hut and Greggs then, and also Just eat, Deliveroo and others that encourage people just to sit at home and get even bigger whilst having your calorie busting take away delivered. The size on some of today's younger people is truly shocking ,and something should be done to tackle the situation but limiting meal deals isn't the answer. Start with self discipline and good old fashioned home cooked proper nutritional food, and couple that with getting people active. People get taxis from 1 Street to another, it's ridiculous, some people just will not walk. There's currently a minimum price for alcohol in Wales, does anyone think this is seriously deterring people? and neither will this. The only thing that will get people in better health and fitter is to have a complete lifestyle change , and to get back to eating food like it was 40 years ago.

I'm sure Drakeford doesn't think he's solved obesity in Wales with this measure, but you've got to start somewhere. Advocating a complete lifestyle change for many is all well and good, but how do you make that happen?

Well if you use smoking as an example, it's now so costly,and anti social to buy cigarettes that people have turned their back on it, 30 years ago you wouldn't have believed that to have been possible. Put the price on a big mac the same as a packet of cigarettes and see if that helps, and of course nobody is forcing people to eat this rubbish, it's their choice. If i had asked my mother of father for a taxi to school they would have fallen over laughing and then give me a clip. You wouldn't believe how many kids get taxis to school, most within walking distance, that starts at home with the parents. But limiting meal deals is a joke when there's so much else causing the problems.

Popped to Matalan yesterday, McDonalds is next door and it was chock a bloc, cars queuing up the ramp, just don't see the attraction food is crap and full of crap ingredients, it baffles me.

Exactly my point in an earlier post. I saw one young woman spend £30 in KFC on a Sunday for her and her children, just think how much she would have saved by buying a chicken a bag of potatoes and some proper vegetables and how much better it would have been for them all. But no, it's the easy option to just do what she did.

What a load of bollxs, you can still go into your local Co-op and buy the same three items individually for about a knicker more than the meal deal price.
Or just grab a pasty, pie and sausage roll combination for roughly the same
Stop treating adults like children and let them make thier own mind up

So people are up in arms about this relatively minor change to meal deals (as Jaxs has pointed out above) and think Drakeford is a control freak, yet those same people advocate he should either force fast food outlets to massively increase their prices or kick them out of Wales altogether?

 

[jack_lord]

I thought my meal deal was a pretty balanced affair. I was getting a pasta dish with an innocent drink (which it turns out isn't as healthy as I thought it was) and a peanut bar or grazing pot.
Should I start going back to Greggs.

The Lewis boys had this covered years ago lads, Drakeford take note
