Exactly kate the major companies, coca cola, nestle, want you to stay addicted to their crap so they allow supermarkets to do bogof, and other promotions.
They dont give a rats left testicle for anyones health, they want to make money. And as these are 'luxury' items you pay VAT on them so everyones a winner....except your waistline.
Even a bag of carrots is a quid now, a family sized bag of apples £2 a cauli £1.50....fruit and veg has never been so expensive.
Im seriously looking into growing my own
