The first step is that when children leave the house in the morning with their lunch boxes, the parents have been educated about the food they should be given. We have to make people aware. Many in my constituency are looking for advice on weight and obesity. It is most important that when groups appear before the committee, they give us the facts and figures. In turn, we can give the correct information to the public.
