MPs on the House of Commons Health and Social Care Committee were told that the nation is facing an “obesity pandemic” which is being driven by commercial interests.

Chris van Tulleken, who is professor of global health at University College London and a BBC television doctor, said that a typical diet seen as “healthy” - which could include baked beans, fish fingers, wholegrain bread, yoghurt and breakfast cereal - would lead to someone eating more than the recommended daily level of calories.
