So, does our MP provide us with a 'junk' service?MP Gerald Howarth should hang his head in shame, pictured on the front page of the local paper promoting junk food (Aldershot Mail, January 16).
Is Mr Howarth not aware of the links with childhood obesity and increased aggression? Maybe he has not seen the rubbish littering the streets and the increase in rats.
It would be difficult to imagine any French, Italian, Spanish, indeed any European politician being seen dead near a McDonald’s, let alone pictured serving a Big Mac. Mr Howarth compares the service he provides with that of McDonald’s: “I myself have 75,000 constituents who I serve and I do that in a similar way to how McDonald’s approaches its customers.”
Maybe Mr Howarth should watch the documentary film Super Size Me.
