Jamie Oliver has accused the Government of using families’ suffering amid the cost-of-living crisis as an “excuse” to delay tackling obesity. The British chef presented an Eton Mess dessert to a crowd of around 200 supporters in the pouring rain outside Downing Street , which he said was “symbolic of the mess” ministers have created by postponing England’s National Obesity Strategy by one year. The strategy aims to reduce consumption of food high in fat, sugar and salt (known as HFSS) by banning two-for-one junk food deals and television ads for it before 9pm.
