The official petition to end the mandatory fortification of white flour with folic acid has just hit 100k. Great news. It helps me take the fight to the establishment in Parliament. Let’s end it.

I do not believe that the Government should be adding folic acid to our bread. Food should be as natural as possible. That is not a controversial position. We are now in the absurd situation where politicians think they should decide what goes into the everyday food of millions of British people. There is an important difference between recommending a supplement to those who need it and making its addition compulsory in a staple food consumed by the entire population. Education and targeted supplementation is the answer. Why must the solution always be another blanket government intervention for tens of millions of people? People should be able to buy ordinary bread without having unnecessary products forced in by the state. Clear labelling. Informed choice. Targeted healthcare. That simple - that's the Restore Britain position. Keep our food as natural as possible, and let the British public decide what they eat. I will make that argument in Parliament following the successful petition. Leave the sodding bread alone.
