It already is treated like tobacco: it comes in small packages which cost and arm and a leg.
But I do get your point. Now, if the shadow health minister had come out and commented about the strain being put on the NHS by obesity and its buddy, diabetes; and state that it would benefit everyone if certain foods ... Rotten Ronnie's burgers come to mind ... carried warning labels, or at least a table of contents, that would be reasonable. But a comment like that from the Environment Shadow is pure PC bullshine. Maybe that person thinks that a major cut in beef production would help slow down global warming, as there would be fewer cattle farting methane into the atmosphere.
What always pees me off about PC politicians is that their pulpit is a position of privilege: An overpaid job which involves little work, and carries with it an obscenely inflated expense account and numerous other perks.
