Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Mr. Colin Regan:
Our healthy eating guidelines, which have been taken up by more than 50% of the clubs involved in the healthy club project, do not recommend the use of either highly caffeinated or sugary sports drinks. We do not have a directive on it because that does not work. We have found, based on the advice we have been given by bodies such as safefood that guidelines and supporting clubs in changing the culture and environment around this is a much more positive approach.
