Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)
11:05 am
Mr. Trevor White:
I accept your point, which I made this morning, namely, that personal responsibility is an essential component of the solution to this problem. No one in this room denies that. However, it is singularly depressing that we are having a conversation about obesity in which it is framed as being almost exclusively an issue of personal responsibility.
