Childhood Obesity Strategy

Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 January 2016. It occurred during Backbench debate on Childhood Obesity Strategy.

The hon. Lady is making a powerful and excellent speech. She might know that in Mexico the average consumption of Coca-Cola is 0.5 litres a day per person and that children are being fed Coke in baby bottles. Does she agree that the Government need to take action not just on pricing but on marketing? We cannot have this situation where people can buy two litres for 5% more, so that we have these huge stocks of Coke that people feel they have to get rid of before it loses its fizz, and everybody’s teeth fall out.
