The Russians are now pointing a more powerful weapon at the Fast Food coalition.

"Russian lawmakers are promising to draft a bill that would render it almost impossible to promote foodstuffs with high sugar, salt and saturated fat content, saying the move would help to encourage healthy food habits among the population.

 MP Vasiliy Shestakov of the majority United Russia party has told the Kommersant Daily that in the near future he plans to draft several amendments to federal laws on advertising that would seriously restrict the advertising of sugar-containing sodas, sweets, margarine, potato chips, some types of sausages and many types of fast food.


The amendments would see fast food and alcohol ads as equal threats, Shestakov said in comments. He added that harmful fast food was a threat to the apparently healthy “national foods.”


No, that will hurt big business. It will be good for peoples health, good for the countries health services and reduce government deficit growth.


What's not to like, except it being promoted by Russian politicians.
