Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Do you mean government subsidized highly addictive, processed, junk food with predatory marketing pushed by gigantic multinational corporations? Do not shirk their responsibility in this. It's not the average person's fault.
My problem is the whole "poor people eat poorly because they are stupid. I will force them to take the good decision"
100%. I did my undergraduate degree in public health, and one thing that I constantly saw about program development for nutrition and food subsidy programs was people thinking that the main issue to an individual getting proper nutrition was not having an education on how to cook or recognize nutritious versus non-nutritious foods. So they wanted to have stupid bullshit like nutrition classes for snap benefits. Where you wouldn't get the benefits unless you took the classes, how fucking shortsighted and missing the entirety of the issue. As if a single parent who's working two jobs is going to have the time to cook or even the time to grocery shop well.
