§ 25. Mr. Raceasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what analysis he has made of the increasing consumption of high energy snack foods by children; and what is his estimate of the effect that this will have on their health.
§ Sir George YoungNo nationally representative analysis is available of the level of consumption of high energy snack foods by children. The effect on health of any increase in consumption would depend on the nutrient content of the snack foods consumed and the extent to which their contribution to the total daily intake of food energy and nutrients met requirements.
