Lord McColl of Dulwich (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 May 2025

Debate

Healthy Life Expectancy

Contribution

My Lords, people are not living as long as they were because of the obesity epidemic, which is killing people at an earlier age from a variety of very unpleasant diseases. Does the Minister agree that there are a lot of pseudoscientists around putting out propaganda that people cannot exercise personal responsibility and therefore government action must be taken? Could it be that those people do not want to see the end of the obesity epidemic because they are making so much money out of it?
