The Government is withdrawing all funding from its own healthy eating schemes such as change4life and has announced power is to be given to the food giants such as Mars, Cadbury’s and Coca-Cola in the fight against obesity…
BEAR snarls at this decision and we’re off to the Government to grrrowl our case
Get behind BEAR in campaigning to stop these companies from taking control of the UK obesity battle and help companies such as BEAR, who already care and work hard to provide truly healthy and delicious food to the UK get an equal opportunity in helping get our nation healthier.
BACK BEAR BY SIGNING OUR PETITION
We the undersigned ask you to sign our petition.

being a former morbidly obese person I totally support your cause to get the government to make healthy food more accessible. x

Ironically you are proving the Governement’s point that the private sector is more than capable of promoting healthy eating. Never heard of you til I saw your poster. Keep up the good work! ;¬)
Hello Chief – we agree the private sector is capable. We do it with our go BEAR! days and the fact that all we make is healthy snacks. What we’re a little disappointed with, is the choice of companies within the private sector the government’s given responsibility to make this change happen. We may be proven wrong, and Mars, Coke and Cadbury’s could pull it out the bag and really do some good for the country’s obesity and fitness problem, but so far, they’ve all said very little about it. Which worries us, hence the growling…
