Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Public Health and the Commercial Determinants of Health: Discussion
Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine can and must promote its own sector. It is in its interest and that of the economy for it to do so. The more nutritious foods, however, are the ones we should try to support in a way that impacts young people while also being attractive to them. I say this because I am not so sure the message telling young people to eat more vegetables resonates all the time. I have only ten seconds left, however. It is only eight now, as the clock counts down.
