Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 July 2025

Debate

Advertising Restrictions on Less Healthy Food

Contribution

I completely agree with the noble Lord and I have personal experience from my background. It is empowering when a parent presents at a community organisation with a child who has an eating disorder or who is becoming obese, and they work together through cooking, education and shopping. All those things are fundamental and they need to be reinforced in schools, and I agree with the noble Lord that we need to tackle this on all levels. We obviously have to have the top-down measures that we were talking about earlier, but changing habits is going to be transformational.
