Tackling Obesity: Discussion with Operation Transformation

10:35 am

Mr. Karl Henry:

People are confused. There is no simple knowledge out there. What our seven-point plan promotes - this will have been seen through the VTs - is a simple, effective, measurable message through an organisation, whether it is the schools or the Gaelic clubs or whatever is the organisation. The infrastructure is there. If the message is built and provided, it will filter into the community through the teachers, parents and schools. There needs to be a multifactorial approach in terms of solving the obesity epidemic we are facing.
