Professor Donal O'Shea:

As pillars, participation, drop-off, education, control and planning are very good and the only others I would add are effectiveness and evidence.

I refer to labelling and the question was asked as to whether the industry would oppose traffic lights. It was an Irish vote that swung it away from traffic light labelling and that was unfortunate.

As to the decisions made here, ten years ago we said that if we did nothing we would need obesity surgery for our adolescents. We did nothing and, ten years on, we now have agreement that we will have obesity surgery. In the emirate countries the obesity surgery programme begins at the age of five and that is what can happen if nothing is done. We are talking about it for our teenagers and not our under-tens but continuing to do nothing is not an option.
