      It's all a matter of the quantity ingested. But dropping the word "sugar" could imply that they are now more healthy

        IMV, it is unethical marketing. I think the answer is to educate people on food and nutrition so they are not taken in. If we legislate, firms will find a way around it.

              Indeed, the latter sounds like a ****** aeroplane ...

              The original names ... like Ladies' Football, Football League, etc etc etc ... had a meaningful simplicity combined with a basic dignity so missing from much of the modern game, I'm afraid.

              Sorry, probably such intellectual ranting is more suitable for ... Not This Thread, But Another One.
