Ministers have been accused of surrendering in to junk food firms as they are not carrying out their plans of imposing tough controls on salt, sugar and fat content if the junk food firms agree to fund healthy eating campaigns. According to Health Experts any proposals which ask for leniency in regulation on soft drinks and confectioneries in return for money can be termed as bribery.

Andrew Lansley, the Health secretary had revealed plans under which a new partnership would be formed and the food and drink industry, being one of the partners would fund the multi million pound campaign project of the government dubbed Change4 Life which is a series of advertisement, to encourage people to become healthier.

In return for that, according to Lansley the companies would be spared the burden of regulations.

According to the representatives of the food industry no money has yet been asked from them for the campaign. This statement saw the criticism when people sarcastically said that the junk-food manufacturers are getting benefited giving nothing in return

As it is doctors are angry with the Health Secretary after he dubbed Jaime Oliver’s healthy meals campaign a flop, saying that many students were carrying packed lunch, which made the doctors feeling insulted.

But according to the critics the matter of grave concern is that the food firms are given assurance that the tough controls on what they can put in their products would be lifted, even before the food firms had promised to chip in money for the governmental campaign.

In spite of knowing that fats cause heart disease the proposal of it which is mixed in ready meals and processed food getting banned would be shelved. Trans fats are the cause of thousands of deaths every year. Another scheme to cut down the cost of low salt and low-fat food has been scrapped. They will remain expensive.

A scheme to cut the cost of low-salt and low-fat food has also been axed.
