this is professor susan jebb.ally says doing so is making it more tempting for your colleagues to overeat . it was colleagues to overeat. it was expanded a little bit mechanical . it's bizarre analogy some things to do with passive smoking, let's ignore that smoking, but let's ignore that and kind of focus on the and just kind of focus on the premise. do you think we need to be told don't take cakes to the office? no, i don't. and i think, know, and i think think, you know, and i think it's sense. i have to say it's common sense. i have to say that when i worked in an office, i quite nauseating. i found it quite nauseating. i mean, literally nauseating. the amount of cakes and biscuits and things that were constantly coming in because it was always somebody's birthday or something . you know, when i started work, you see across the you couldn't see across the newsroom cigarettes . newsroom floor for cigarettes. and that so you had to go and that was so you had to go back passive smoking back to the passive smoking

britain's tot fo desser yort fo britain's top food expert, professor susan jebb, has just issued an edict. she's announced that taking cake into the office could it'seadly. it's as harmful as second hand smoke a. >> some of us thought it was a nice thing to do.l so to get the actual medical answer, we're going to consult, as always, dr. marc siegel, who joins us tonight to says, doctor , what do you think?what? >> tucke standards agencythe food standards agency in the u.k. iis otherwise known as the food police.ink th and i think that the idea thatae you can't bring food intoe an the workplace and share it, which maked shars people feel g, which brings out kindness, which brings out a great hormone that lowers blood pressure, i think that that's really the wrong waye obt to go about the obesity epidemic. and i think that, thank god that rishi sunako, the prime minister of great britain, agrees with m rishie be he said through his press a secretary, i like a piece of cake. i like my red velvet cake.rrot i like my carrot cake. i believe in free choice. i believe in free choice. you know, fr

professor susan jebb , eat them. regarded as akin to passive smoking saying with smoking we have got to place where we understand that individuals have to make some effort but that we can make their efforts more successful by having a supportive . well let's to supportive. well let's to someone who knows her brownies from a bakewell. if you pardon the expression holly bell former great bake off finalist john is holly thank you very much indeed for joining us. demonising holly thank you very much indeed for joining us . demonising cake forjoining us. demonising cake . what a thing for a bake off finalist . yes. well i know what finalist. yes. well i know what she means . i finalist. yes. well i know what she means. i do understand because i look back when i first worked in an office in the early noughfies worked in an office in the early noughties and people were still smoking in the office. so smokers was obviously a complete nightmare nightmare . they nightmare nightmare. they couldn't they're never going to have any
