The former Masterchef winner and founder of the Wahaca chain of restaurants said she had found it "baffling" that Mrs May had abandoned the measures within weeks of becoming prime minister last year. She said she was baffled why key measures to fight child obesity were dropped Rebecca Reid / eyevineTheresa May dropped crucial features of the childhood obesity strategy because she does not have children, a leading female restaurateur has suggested. Thomasina Miers, 41, claimed that if the prime minister had had children she would not have allowed measures such as banning junk food advertising and preventing supermarkets pushing sugary foods at children to be dropped. "Part of me felt that if you had had children you would not have done that, because it is so important that our children eat [healthy food]," she told an audience at the Hay Festival.
Masterchef winner suggests Theresa May scrapped obesity legislation because she doesn't have children
Theresa May failed to support calls to ban junk food companies and supermarkets from advertising to children because she is not a mother, the winner of Masterchef has claimed. The government was expected to introduce new regulations to stop supermarkets offering price promotions on unhealthy food aimed at youngsters, and prevent advertisers of sugary and fatty foods targeting children. Thomasina Miers, who founded the chain restaurant Wahaca, told the Hay Festival that she found it 'extraordinary' that the Prime Minister failed to include tougher proposals in the new Childhood Obesity Plan which was published last August.collected by :Lucy William
