Professor Susan Jebb says that passive smoking inflicts harm on others 'and exactly the same is true of food'
The chief of Britain’s food regulator says people should stop bringing cake into the office for the sake of their colleagues’ health. The chairwoman of the Food Standards Agency says bringing sweet treats into the work environment should be seen as harmful to your colleagues in the same way as passive smoking.
“We all like to think we’re rational, intelligent, educated people who make informed choices the whole time, and we undervalue the impact of the environment,” she told the Times. Prof Jebb, who spoke to the newspaper in a personal capacity rather than FSA head, said: “With smoking, after a very long time we have got to a place where we understand that individuals have to make some effort but that we can make their efforts more successful by having a supportive environment. We still don’t feel like that about food.”
