Jacqui Southey: Save the Children Advocacy Director on the UN report into childhood obesity

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

Calls for swift intervention to keep our young people healthy.   A United Nations report suggests 9.4% of those aged five to 19-years-old are obese, and 9.2% are underweight.  In the year 2000, 12% were underweight and just 3% were obese.   Save the Children Advocacy Director Jacqui Southey told Ryan Bridge there needs to be better education around what is and isn't healthy.   She says some products may appear healthy but are actually packed with sugars, salts, and fats.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
