Bring back Turkey Twizzlers

The Issue

Turkey twizzlers were a 90's kids favourite treat! The best thing on the school lunch menu and the best Saturday night dinner! Then along came Jamie Oliver and these were banned! These were banned for being too fatty, with over 20% RDA of fat, Bernard Matthews then created a "healthier version" with less than 7% fat however the damage was done, they had been publicly smeared by Jamie Oliver and were then pulled completely!! However these were used as a scape goat for a bigger problem, as were very popular and not that good for you... They only have a third of the fat of a pork sausage, and let's not even get started on McDonalds! I think they thought pulling the plug on our beloved turkey twizzlers would stop children's obesity, however this clearly never happened... And the obesity crisis is now worse than ever! Also I don't think any 90s kid has any health detriments from eating turkey twizzlers... If you do, let me know! Of course these should not be eaten every day, but are we not allowed to control what we eat ourselves? If we want to eat turkey twizzlers and smiley faces 5 times a week... Why can't we? So please Bernard Matthews... BRING BACK OUR TURKEY TWIZZLERS!!!!
