How do we get to the stage where we advertise to create an awareness of being overweight, obesity and so forth? We know the drinks sector and sugar, etc., is a serious contributory factor. How do we convince people who are in that category - some might say I am in that category myself but we will struggle on at this stage - and especially young people who may be in that category of where to go and what to do about it that is within their reach? In other words, what do I do about it, when do I do it and when will I see the results?
