Will the witness clarify how the other 60% is broken down, if they have any figures around that?
The witnesses mentioned that it is a growing epidemic over the past ten to 15 years. Will they outline the top three or four reasons why this is such a phenomenon now, as opposed to years ago?
From the witnesses' experience in other jurisdictions where they have a sugar tax, do manufacturers actually alter their products by deviating from sugar but using alternative products that may be as damaging?
The witnesses have spoken about people who have issues with body image How much does the body image on social media play a part in this and can they give me an outline of what is involved?
