South Yorkshire to Ban Junk Food Adverts on Buses and Trams

[pfifes]

Carrots are a ‘healthy’ food.  But if we relied on carrots for most of food intake we would run into all sorts of problems with nutritional deficiencies and would probably turn orange.

Moral of this? We need a balanced diet.  Looking at the nutritional value of a food in isolation isn’t the full picture.

Don't quite know what the connection between SYTM (a preservation group) and Coppards 'public consultation' is, but, hey.

 

Or, even what 'banning junk food ads on buses' (there aren't any) have in common.

Eating food and drinking on trams is supposed to be banned, but it happens on virtually every trip I take.

Various campaigns are launched at a variety of venues, and this campaign and museum do have public transport in common.

Maybe folk who feel strongly enough should take part in the consultation, rather than decry it from the outside, or complain about the conclusions after completion.
Re the junk food ad, it's been explained before; It's not just about current advertising, and not just S. Yorks.
It is also about future advertising, and this may be relevant as the various mayoral authorities seek to follow models such  as Bee in Manchester.
 Partially explained here amongst other places.

The 'campaign'  has nothing to do with SYTM - a vehicle preservation group.

 

I'm aware of the previous 'explanation' , but as has been previously stated, you don't see food ads on buses in South Yorkshire - as someone who travels around the region,  and further afield , I have noticed this.

I had to laugh when I read on the web site that there are no buses passing the Transport museum and assess from the tram or Train is not easy meaning that people have to drive to reach the transport museum yes there is a special service for the open day but what about the other 364 days of the year. Welcome to Sheffield

Rotherham, actually. And public transport doesn't go everywhere.
