There is definitely and obvious connection between poverty and obesity,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and then there is Aberdeen
Supermarkets have got a lot to answer for.
“Buy one cake get another free” or this weeks special offer “3 stodgy items for the price of two”.
You never see these sort of offers on anything which is remotely healthy.
When was the last time you saw 5 pieces of fruit for the price of 3 or 50% extra off the price of vegetables?
Yes there’s a responsibility on the part of the parents, however families on low incomes will always be drawn towards the Supermarket “special offers”, it’s how people on low incomes are able to afford to eat!
Supermarkets are nothing more than drugs(sugar)pushers trying to maximimise profit as that’s where the money is made.
