“I can’t believe the amount of chocolate that kids eat nowadays. Two wee squares are a lot of calories – and some of them end up eating the whole bar. I’d like more done to educate kids at school.”

Jean Brown:

“It should be left up to the individual what they eat. You can’t really do a lot – people will always find ways around it if they want to eat more and if they start this, where does it stop with the government? What is next?”

Thomas Dawson:

“It’s about education – not legislation. It’s more important to teach people about what is bad for them. If you say to someone that they can only have 20 chips and they want more, they will go in and buy two bags.”
