I thank the Minister of State for that comprehensive reply. As she pointed out, the Minister is working on this. I accept the point that this is about striking a balance and I certainly agree that we should avoid concentrating on body image and focus instead on the health and well-being of individuals, especially the long-term consequences of carrying weight. We must tackle this for people's benefit as well as saving the State money.
