Sweet temptation
I was getting petrol today in a supermarket petrol station and as I was standing in the long queue I had a good look around the aisles on either side of me and my fellow captives.
Rows and rows of sweets and crisps lined the route to the till, which you would expect because they make so much money from them.
So we are fair game but as usual I was paying attention to who picked some of it up.
One guy picked up a sandwich and a drink so he was probably hungry and guess what he was a good weight.
Another lady picked up a chocolate bar and she was slim too.
Another lady went to pick something up but then changed her mind, so I guess she is on a diet and is prone to yo-yoing.
And one young lady walked out with two packets of crisps, a bag of sweets and two bars of chocolate. Guess whether she was overweight or not?
So is it the supermarkets fault that the UK is getting fatter? No, of course not, because those few minutes showed we all have a choice.
The supermarkets are good at tempting you, but you have to pick the stuff up, pay for it and eat it.
