Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Chris Macey:

That is per day. Yes. The impact of that over time is going to be horrendous on children. They are overconsuming fat, sugar and salt. A Safefood report prior to the pandemic found that 85,000 children living on the island would die prematurely due to overweight and obesity. That is an avoidable toll of misery and death.
