John Glen

Conservative — Salisbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 January 2025

Debate

Obesity: Food and Diet

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman is making a thought-provoking observation, but does he acknowledge that in times past, the proportion of income that any individual, from whichever class, spent on food was considerably higher than it is today? If we are to get to the heart of the matter, we have to address the wider challenge of our society’s expectations of how much money we should spend on food. Does he not agree that we are addicted to cheap food?
