Reducing Childhood Obesity (EDM2006)

Reducing Childhood Obesity

EDM number 2006 in 2005-06, proposed by Desmond Turner on 20/04/2006.

That this House notes with concern that around 25 per cent. of young people in the United Kingdom today are already overweight or obese, a level predicted by the International Obesity Task Force as likely to rise to 40 per cent. by 2010; further notes that a study published in the March 2006 edition of the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics and consistent with much other published data, suggests that teenagers who consume calorie-free soft drinks are likely to gain 1lb in weight less every month and be up to a stone lighter after a year than those drinking one can of higher calorie regular soft drink per day; and concludes that discouraging the consumption of high calorie sugar sweetened soft drinks and substituting with calorie-free or low calorie drinks which are attractive to children and meet their need for re-hydration and refreshment will make a massive contribution to the future health of children and reduce childhood obesity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 63 MPs.
