I have no problem with the nanny state policies, as my colleague knows well. I got an award recently for being Queen Nanny from a smoking group and actually turned up to receive it. I am all for whatever measures need to be put in place. There is a fine line between us actually taking over the parenting of children as a Government. Once a child is obese, it will be an issue for them in the vast majority of cases.
