The BOE is totally complicit in the government's market manipulation at the moment...
Just make it law for there to be bars on the unhealthy food sections that can only be accessed by people who are not obese. If you are on one of them fatty scooters then you are not allowed to enter the area and if you do you get fined £7000 and have the scooter taken off you, but if you are in a wheelchair then you can access it. And make it against the law to send someone in to purchase the products for you. This system should also be used on fast food places such as McDonald.
And week that your child is considered as obese you get fined £100 with it rising to £700 after one year, and if you have disability benefits for being overweight then you are not allowed into any fast food business.

I think part of the problem could be that parents now control their children through bribery with sweets instead of physical "shock" discipline (smacking, etc).
I see it often, a child being dragged along by it's parents in a shop, the child crying for sweets like a heroin addict crying for his next hit. The parent tries not to appear weak in front of child in public, and tells their child they can't have that sweet, but a different one instead. The little bundle of hate gets it's sugar-hit either way. The parent makes sure to buy some chocolate biscuits for further bribery later when the little sod won't go to bed, because their child's health isn't as important as sitting in front of the TV with enough alcohol to put them into a stupor in peace.
