Hold on, Mr. White. Many Members took part in “Operation Transformation”. For us, it involved a collective and personal decision about our own eating habits. If someone does not take ownership of a problem, how can we arrive at a solution to it? I accept Mr. White’s point that it is not all about personal responsibility, but how we can move forward without people taking personal responsibility for their eating habits?
