Which?
Article Type: Food facts From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 39, Issue 5.
As the Department of Health (DH) publishes the “one year on” review of its obesity strategy, “Which?” chief policy adviser, Sue Davies, says:
“We know that four in five people want to eat more healthily, but more must be done to make the healthy choice the easy choice”. “We're seeing really positive action in some areas but we can't afford to be complacent; industry and the government are still skirting around contentious issues like promotions to children”. “Walk around any supermarket and you'll see conflicting labelling schemes, shelves of fatty, sugary and salty foods targeted at kids, and the majority of price promotions are for the less healthy foods”.
“To make this work, we need to go much further and faster to break down the barriers to healthy eating”.
Which? surveyed 2,102 adults aged 16+ in the UK from 14 to 18 January 2009. Results were weighted to be representative of adults aged 16+ in the UK.
On 11 March 2009, Which? published Hungry For Change?, a report looking at the efforts of UK governments and the food industry to help consumers make healthier choices over the last five years. For a copy, please visit www.which.co.uk/hungry
