Jamie Oliver brought his coupon to Scotland to try to get 2-4-1 pizza deals banned - and somehow he's gone and done it.
Nicola Sturgeon has pledged to move ahead with some major junk food curbs after meeting the TV chef, including a ban on multi-buy deals.
Funnily enough, a lot of folk were less than happy. Have we not suffered enough recently?
I’d much prefer that the government banned Jamie Oliver than two-for-one pizzas. pic.twitter.com/Kk4ziy2g86

Jamie Oliver convincing politicians to ban 2 for 1 pizzas isn’t an attack on the childhood obesity crisis, it’s an attack on the poor. Food is political. Some people can only treat their families to a takeaway pizza when there is a deal on, for example.

Jamie Oliver wants weans in Scotland to only eat dust. He is a threat to our national security.

Let’s not forget that Jamie Oliver once said working class families could easily afford to eat healthy as they can afford their own TVs, and that they should shop at their local farmers’ market. His healthy eating campaign has always reeked of class snobbery

I propose a tax on Jamie Oliver for his high levels of anti-craic.

You: "Definitely laurel"
Jamie Oliver: "Working class people are just the worst"
I see Jamie Oliver, owner of *checks notes* an Italian restaurant chain and under the belief that poor people could eat healthly for cheap but hasn't campaigned to make healthy food cheaper or more readily available is back on his bullshit yet again about 2 for 1 pizza deals?

Jamie Oliver: I'm apolitical

Also Jamie Oliver: poor people shouldn't have pizza
Jamie Oliver isn't a good guy, making junk food more expensive without making healthy food less expensive isn't the act of a man who cares about health. It is the act of a prick.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
