Obesity And Low Calorie Sweetened Beverages

EDM number 372 in 2010-12, proposed by Kevin Barron on 30/06/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Health education and preventive medicine and Obesity.

That this House notes with concern that currently over 1,000 people in the UK become obese every day; suggests that one of the single most effective ways in which Government could improve public health is by a consistent message, across all agencies, that people who wish to avoid weight gain should consider low calorie options when choosing sweetened beverages; and observes that such an approach would be consistent with growing consumer preferences for diet drinks, require no legislation, and have no cost to the Exchequer.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
