The ready made sandwiches are high in fat compared to home made ones but maybe it’s the combination of goods, full fat crisps/snacks and sugared drinks but I’m not convinced these sugar free options are better. I think as long as it’s an occasional thing and you are generally not massive, what does it matter? Or do you think they mean these fast food meal deals?

I thought this thread was about something else entirely as we buy these meal deal offers that offer wine etc and add small amounts to make 2meals rather than one

In my opinion, far too much nannying..

Meal Deals in Wales will be subject to bans on certain foods from 2025.

As someone who used to sometimes buy a lunch meal deal from M&S or Boots, which never seemed that unhealthy to (perhaps uneducated!) me, consisting of a prawn mayonnaise on oat bread sandwich, crisps (!) and water or fruit juice, I never felt guilty.

Are meal deals a real health problem or is this too much interfering by a Nanny State?
