Proceeding contribution from John Pugh (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 November 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Combating Obesity.
Combating Obesity
When I was a lad, school dinners were not under-caloried, if I may put it like that. There were no tuck shops in those days, but children ate an awful lot of sweets, and did not seem to get obese, which inclines me to the view that lack of activity rather than calorie intake is the principal cause of obesity.
