I'm not sure rightwing scandal rags worth wasting your energy on. Good for clickbait, I suppose.
I think it's more of a problem that so many low-income households don't have a cooker or freezer and, at the same time, have greater access to fast food outlets - 1 in 3 food outlets in deprived areas compared to 1 in 5 outlets in the most affluent areas. @phoenixwren did an interesting post some years ago about the difference in choice in supermarkets in poorer areas - no non-sweetened yoghurts, for example - and richer areas.
Coming to the governments list: a couple of surprises there for me - syrups get a pass and "non-dairy alternatives, probiotic yoghurt and drinkable varieties" don't?
Yeah, with all my allergies I still go out of my way to shop in the rich neighborhood's grocery store because they don't have the versions I can eat at the closer, poorer grocery store of the same company.
Here the big conservative-news-outlets-are-freaking-out-about-it issue is, they are banning the "fun flavors" for vape pens and any other tobacco products. Only in Denver, it isn't even state-wide. The logic is because kids vape more than smoke - like, smoking was on the out and then vaping came along and captured the youth market. And the fruit flavors and whatever is basically the appeal to them to start. So if an adult really wanted to smoke their grape flavored vape, they can go get it in the burbs if they wanted. But a high school kid who maybe doesn't have a car yet might not bother, and they can't just grab some at the corner store on the way to school or whatever. But the way the adverts are playing it, you'd think they were taking away our constitutional rights. Nah, they're just cutting into the profits of big tobacco and maybe saving some kids from addiction.
