Looney Left Say Halt The Easter Eggs

Apparently manufacturers and retailers alike should forget the extraordinarily short run-up to Easter because Easter eggs make children fat according to The General Secretary of the left-wing Compass "think"-tank.

He is reported to have said:

"The fact that the selling of Easter eggs is already in full swing is yet another example of the relentless targeting of children by marketers selling HFSS foods, which is contributing to obesity and related health problems in children."

so in the run-up to Easter could you retailers also not stock, polo mints, sausage rolls or cheese please? I'm sure he's forgot that it's the shortest period to Easter for 95 years? After Christmas the shelves go empty so they may as well be filled with Valentines and Easter products!

Are people really going to eat more chocolate because Easter eggs are on the shelves earlier? Surely if people were going to buy chocolate, they would do it whether it looked like a bunny rabbit or wrapped up as a chocolate bar?

I do however, believe that there will be a fair amount of "pester-power" involved, but it's down to parents to say "no" or "yes"!
