Labour calls for laws to limit sugar, salt and fat in food (UK)

6. So conservatives, how's that free market working out for kids' health?

According to Milton Friedman etc., Jeremy Hunt should just STFU because the Free Market(TM) will adjust to the nutritional needs of the British children. Did that happen? :crickets: :cricets:

So how do those right wingers reconcile a Free Market with Family Values?

Family values = healthy, virtuous kids who obey their parents.
Free market = In Big Business We Trust, even if said Big Businesses manufacture:
- Cheap toys made in China with all sorts of poisons
- Unhealthy HFCS-/sugar-/fat-loaded food that appeals to kids because of the cartoony commercials
- Mindless video games
- Defective car seats and other kids' products that may end up scarring/maiming/incapacitating a kid for life
- Trash TV i.e. the reality shows on the E! and MTV channels and the "infotainment" on the networks posing as news
- Ability to buy politicians and re-write the rules for the corporations. Trying to sue a company over a shitty product that hurt a kid? Tough luck, due to tort reform!
