At the request of constituents I attended the British Heart presentation in the Parliament on Wednesday.
They set out their suport for the traffic light system of food warnings introduced by the government and food industry, as they wish to discourage excessive and unhealthy eating. They also would like to see more young people take up competitive sports and exercise.
I would welcome comments from constituents on how far government should go in trying to influence lifestyle and diet, and promoting exercise and sport. Is the government doing enough, or are there other things you want them to do?
