Proceeding contribution from Alistair Burt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 November 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Combating Obesity.
Combating Obesity
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman, who has been generous in giving way. I confess to running a tuck shop when I was at school—it was part of the prefects’ duties. Before he moves from calories, will he explain why he believes that when we have a lot of information about calories—people can find out about calorific content and the risks of food if they want—people ignore it? Statistics from the Department of Health and other sources show that. Why does he believe that so many people ignore the information and blithely go on in their own way?
