[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1926921, member: 41816"] Off topic: Goodness, Purdey's is Britvic? Had no idea they had sold out. Used to drink that as an occasional treat back in the 90s. That shows my age, doesn't it? As for On Topic, I sympathise with any company/charity trying to drum up funding. They are on the horns of a dilemma. They can choose companies with lots of cash, regardless of the source of the cash (in this case sugar), or they can work 10x as hard to try and find companies without a vested interest, who therefore aren't really interested. Very difficult. But as long as funding comes from companies who produce products that create profit out of food, drink, medications, weight loss or exercise, then DUK is open to criticism. Mind you, can you imagine the furore if they announced funding from a Red Meat supplier? There would be public uproar from people who don't have enough knowledge to know better. [/QUOTE]
