New Chocolate Packaging - what's the story?

By Cormac Sheehan

Today we show the world our new chocolate packaging! It's pretty exciting...in fact, no - it's VERY exciting! We've been working on this since last year and it took a LOT of doing before we were satisfied.

All of those heartfelt resolutions and well-laid plans have a habit of slipping in the still-festive post-Christmas period.

A fantastic article by Paul Zimmet and Philip James published in 2006 in The Medical Journal of Australia outlines some solutions which could be undertaken on a policy level, though the unfortunate fact is that the situation has continued to worsen over the past five years.
