Food regulator compares cake to smoking

Stuff reports:

Is having cake in the workplace really a health hazard? It seems Britain’s top food regulator thinks so.

Susan Jebb is the chairperson of the Food Standards Agency in the UK, and a professor of diet and population health at the University of Oxford. …

“If nobody brought in cakes into the office, I would not eat cakes in the day, but because people do bring cakes in, I eat them. Now, OK, I have made a choice, but people were making a choice to go into a smoky pub.”

Jebb argued that passive smoking inflicts harm on the people around you “and exactly the same is true of food”.

No end to their desire to control our lives!
