I wish to put one question to Mr. White based on the previous themes. He listened to Ms Moloney's presentation and her example. Let us consider his comments about commands to exercise being drivel. The 12-week weight loss programme to which Ms Moloney referred is an example of what can be done. Admittedly, it is not only a question of 12 weeks; it involves a lifetime commitment to change. Anyway, let us consider the example of "Operation Transformation" on television or what safefood is trying to achieve. This is about a lifetime change in terms of behaviour and attitudes. It is not simply drivel. Does Mr. White not accept that?
