The Welsh Government has announced that they plan to bring in new legislation which will ban certain foods from meal deals and being part of price promotions. The plans will also mean supermarkets won't be able to display these foods at certain points in their shops, like at the end of aisles and near the checkout.
The plans are being drawn up in a hope that they will reduce levels of obesity in Wales. Meal deals are a particular area of focus, as according to research, a person who eats a meal deal every day can gain anything from 6lbs to three stone in weight each year.
However, people commenting on the new rules have suggested that it won't stop people from purchasing foods high in sugar, fat and salt, but will instead make it more expensive to do so. Some people are optimistic that the new legislation will force supermarkets to make healthy food cheaper as a result. You can read our full report on the legislation here.
