Supermarkets 'push fatty foods'

1. There are no "healthy" foods, there is only healthy eating:
"The National Consumer Council went into all eight major chains and found over half of promotions were for unhealthy foods - double the level seen in 2006."
2. Don't buy them if you are concerned:
"The number of promotions, such as two-for-one deals, had risen to 4,300, up 17% since the NCC's 2006 report.

But only 12% for were for fruit and vegetables, far below the 33% the NCC recommends. It also says health advice suggests just 7% of a person's diet should be made up of unhealthy foods, compared to the 54% found."
3. Shut-up and stop blaming everyone else for your overfatness:
"'With so many of us buying our food in these supermarkets, their collective behaviour can heavily influence the nation's eating habits.

Despite their claims, the supermarkets all still have a long way to go to help customers choose and enjoy a healthier diet.'"
It is not the responsibility of supermarkets to make your choices for you, fat idiots.
