Summarization
The Welsh Government (WG) is considering banning meal deals from being sold due to the impact on obesity. This is causing uproar as many people rely on meal deals for convenience or for budgeting or for healthy options at a lower cost. People have suggested that instead of a ban, the WG should focus on incentivising healthier options or look at ways to work with businesses to change the narrative. Mental health and wellbeing, the health and social care system, the cost of living crisis, and the benefit to farmers should also be taken into consideration.
Topic Modeling
- Government interventions – minimum unit price of alcohol, 20 mph speed limits, health interventions, banning meal deals, and changing the narrative.
- Mental Health and wellbeing – the benefits of government interventions, the impact of the cost of living crisis.
- Healthy Eating – unhealthy meal deals, healthy alternatives, the calorie content of meals, supermarkets focusing on the benefits to farmers.
- Convenience and Cost – cheaper to buy items in the meal deal than individually, the convenience of meal deals.
- Sports – the impact of Welsh Rugby, beauty of the sport.
Emotional Analysis
The tweets express a range of emotions including frustration, disbelief, anger, and disbelief. The Welsh Government's proposed ban on meal deals has been met with criticism from the users, who feel that it is an overreach and that the government should focus on more important issues. They also express disappointment that the government is not taking more action to tackle obesity in a more effective way, such as incentivizing healthier options. Additionally, some users express admiration for initiatives such as Olio, which collect and distribute surplus food, and express pride in their own meal deals which are both convenient and healthy.

1626864467685285890 | @GillibrandPeter I think instead of banning meal deals, they talk sensibly to business owners ( difficult I know) change the narrative and look to replace crisps with maybe fruit or fresh juice instead of fizzy. | 1 |

1626480134483070978 | @GillibrandPeter Shows how out of touch the WG are; sometimes this is all people have time for on their 30min lunch break if they are lucky to get it. Also a great idea during a cost of living crisis | 44 |
1626485407276756992 | @GillibrandPeter Meal deals don't have to be unhealthy - if I get one I tend to get fruit as a snack and I do stay away from places like Tesco as so many of their meals have scarily high calorie counts. Lots can be done to tackle obesity but WG should focus on healthier alternatives over bans. | 23 |
1626541025941389313 | @GillibrandPeter I collect and distribute surplus food through the app, Olio. Here’s what I picked up the other day. £90 worth of sandwiches that were going to be binned. All from 1 small Tesco. The volume of waste because of over production is a little gross.. https://t.co/mwbpVQjhdd | 20 |

1626555739836715009 | @GillibrandPeter Most "meal deals" are neither a meal, nor a deal. | 15 |
1626528511178440704 | @GillibrandPeter That's just silly. It'll just end up costing people more and they might cut out the healthy option that many can include not necessarily the non healthy. | 15 |
1626518183958966272 | @GillibrandPeter I don't see much of a problem in principle with Meal Deals,Bogof etc. It's the items of these deals which should considered. Supermarkets which offer these deals should also take into consideration how it can benefit farmers..the actual people who produce food..remember them?!! | 12 |
1626497667411988480 | @GillibrandPeter Peter, this Welsh Labour Government appear to think they know what is best for us the people. They have brought in unpopular measures like the minimum unit price of alcohol and the 20mph speed limit. Both of the above are arguably detrimental to the Welsh people. | 11 |
1626573577230090240 | @GillibrandPeter Even forgetting the convenience, a lot of people rely on the meal deal for cheap and easy access to healthy foods and drink. People can get a healthy wrap and a smoothie for the same price as the smoothie on its own | 11 |
