Proceeding contribution from Shailesh Vara (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 November 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Combating Obesity.


Combating Obesity

The Minister is indeed generous, and is making some powerful points. She spoke about the need to encourage a change in lifestyle, but does she accept that we must ensure that when young people leave school they know how to cook? One of the greatest failings at the moment stems from the fact that people buy pre-cooked food because they do not know how to cook. Changing that would not only be cheaper but healthier.
