    Gotta enshrine laws to protect the capitalists!

    They say its about unhealthy food and drink, but why are drink refills considers a health issue to the point of requiring law? Plenty offer more than just unhealthy soda and trash like that.

    Health Secretary Eluned Morgan has launched a consultation to restrict “promotions of food products high in fat, sugar and salt”.

    Article specifically calls out some names:

    It includes a proposal to prohibit retailers from offering free drink refills, which many high street restaurants including Nando’s and Five Guys offer.

    Taking Five Guys for example they offer coca cola freestyle:

    https://www.fiveguys.com/menu/Drinks

    https://www.coca-colafreestyle.com/choices/?filter1=all drinks

    Which offers options such as minute maid lemonaid, vitamin water, etc. with non-sugar options. This law would punish those same drinks in the name of health.

    Couldn’t you just say “10 refills included in the price of the beverage”.
