I bet harassed mums  will welcome this move! Not sure about Jane though!!!!



Tesco is to stop sweets and chocolates being sold at checkouts at its smaller stores in the UK in an effort to help customers make healthier choices.

The supermarket giant said it would take away confectionery from near its tills by the end of the year after conducting research into the issue.

Larger Tesco stores stopped selling sweets at checkouts 20 years ago.

Public Health Minister Jane Ellison welcomed the move saying it would help tackle obesity and ill health.

Tesco says its research found about two-thirds of customers questioned said removing confectionery from checkouts would help them make healthier choices

They still have a choc aisle

That is a great idea.

I think it's a great idea. The times I see harassed mothers saying no to children and of course seeing children grabbing sweets anyway!!  Well done Tesco!

Well there goes my tantrum at the end of a shopping trip with the girls saying no!!!

They will be relieved!! Darn it they know I'm too lazy to hike the 13 miles across a Tesco superstore for a mars bar!!
