Junked: Sales of fizzy drinks and unhealthy foods slump
Published: 03 March 2006Full Article by Martin Hickman
On the shop shelves, in canteens and, most importantly, in our homes, a quiet revolution is taking place. We are eating more healthily and starting to avoid foods that lead to obesity and illness.
The signs of a profound shift in our shopping and eating habits are growing apace. This week, evidence has abounded of a decisive move away from a fatty, sugary diet. The latest sales figures from a string of fast-food manufacturers reveal a dramatic slump. Britvic, the soft drinks company, lost £136m in share value yesterday, after acknowledging that the fizzy drink market was in clear decline.
Hopefully this will spawn a revolution in health care! People finally waking up! I'm so glad to post good news!
