I know it's only a proposal but the idea that snacking should be banned on public transport is beyond a joke. Sometimes when I'm scrolling Twitter I do despair at the state of society in general. I get it that the obesity epidemic that has hit western nations is a massive concern but banning people from snacking on public transport? Like that's going to work.
