National Obesity Forum: The government is saying if you give us money we will take away regulation

Tam Fry of the National Obesity Forum comments on the obesity plan on the Today programme:

“The government is saying to industry if you give us money to run our campaigns we will take away the threat of legislation or regulation which is what is needed in this country.

“What needs to be done is for the food industry is to be told that is the level beyond which you will not go.

“That would then enable every housewife going into a shop to know the food she’s taking off the shelf goes off the guidelines.”
