The Importance of Light Touch Regulation
I'm talking about very light regulation, I would say. This is gentle stuff for what is now the leading cause of early death. One in five kids are leaving primary school, living with obesity. And almost all of them will go on to live with obesity and a growing number of diet-related diseases in adult life. So this can be done. But there needs to be a view that when it comes to the nanny states, right? You can either have no regulation because you're so frightened of giving people information. Or you can have everyone nannied by fundamentally predatory transnational corporations who will do the nannying... We're going to be nannied either way.
