I’m happy to say NO for myself and my children – I don’t need government legislation to force me to do what is right for myself and my family. Stop giving up all your rights to others – you don’t know where it will end.

Yes I agree.

Some supermarkets have at least one checkout which has no food or drinks at the end of it at all. It is bad enough that people who have children with them when they are doing the shopping want to avoid the main aisles with those items in them without having to try to avoid them being seen at the checkouts. It is even more difficult if you have a young child who used to be eat the treats that can no longer hbave them because of diagnosed medical problems. Some are too young to really understand why they suddenly can’t have them. That is why some avoid taking children shopping, not just that they get “I want” regularly

This would be helpful – being nagged while you’re distracted by paying etc is particularly ard.

pffft I get my impulse chokkies in the lolly aisle, so much more to choose from. Quit the nanny state and let people decide for themselves

  I do too! Nothing wrong with a supply of chocolate.

Maybe parents should parent their children and say no!

We do not get tempted as those items are always expensive anyway. Do we actually need any food or items at the checkouts?

  Our trolley already has some of these so called tempting items in it long before we get to the checkout!

There should be less junk and processed food in supermarket catalogues too. Very few specials on fresh unseasoned, unprocessed meat or fresh fruit and vegetables.in any catalogues. The first few pages of the catalogues are usually packed with less than healthy items so your mind is focussed in that direction.

Yes, I think removing junk food completely from the checkouts would be a great move!!
