Verbatim
“This study shows that people in Wales want it to be easier to make healthier choices when they are eating away from home. Making a healthy choice shouldn't be difficult, particularly in the public places and services we all use. These settings have an important role to play in making healthier choices easy to find, understand and choose.”
“What we eat and how much we eat affects our weight. This work has found that young adults and those living in more deprived communities face the greatest challenges when it comes to making healthier food choices and the food environments around them are making that harder, not easier to be healthy.”
“Overweight and obesity affect over 60% of adults in Wales and young adulthood is when people are most likely to gain weight.”
“Overweight and obesity affect over 60% of adults in Wales and young adulthood is when people are most likely to gain weight. What we eat and how much we eat affects our weight.”
“We need to make it easier for people to make healthy choices by providing healthier options.”
