Loose Women slam 'revolting' plan for new obesity law

The Loose Women panel slammed plans to introduce health warnings on junk food packaging.

Health experts from Cambridge University are rallying for a new law which would see junk food packaging include warnings similar to cigarette cartons depicting disease and infections. The Loose Women panel agreed, that while more needs to be done to tackle obesity, this isn't the way to do it.

Coleen said: "I'm sure there are some people that may think about it but they've tried it on cigarette packets and it hasn't really worked. It's revolting. I think it is good they're trying to do something because it is out of control but you can't just say to someone if you eat that its 400 calories because a lot of these people have mental health issues.
