British Medical Association Food For Thought Report
Keith Vaz
2015-07-14
That this House welcomes the report by the British Medical Association entitled Food for Thought, which has identified the considerable risks of poor diet for public health; notes that the report identifies an obesity crisis in the UK and calls for a 20 per cent tax on sugary drinks to subsidize the cost of fruit and vegetables; further notes that the majority of the population does not consume the recommended level of fruit and vegetables, and that a sugar tax and other measures could reduce the prevalence of obesity by an estimated 180,000 people; is deeply concerned with record levels of tooth decay in children, record numbers of people with diabetes and record numbers of people with obesity; and calls on the Government to take the report's proposals into consideration.
