Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer, for calling me to speak in this debate. I think it’s very important that we do keep this issue of obesity on the agenda, and, as well as it being National Obesity Awareness Week, I think lots of people’s thoughts, after the excesses of Christmas, as Angela Burns referred to in her speech introducing the debate, are turning to healthy eating. I do applaud the efforts of people to be more healthy in January. I’m not very successful at it myself, but I think doing a dry January, cutting back on sugary foods or starting a new exercise regime are really important. I think we all need to encourage each other to do that.

But, really, the issue is how we get that message across during the whole of the year, to foster long-term good habits. I do believe that we are raising a generation of more health-conscious children and eaters, because, certainly, this is something that is addressed in primary schools. We do know that unhealthy children become unhealthy adults. So, I think it’s very important that we get the message out to the younger generation.

But, as has already been mentioned, the figure of 26.2 per cent of children in Wales being overweight is very worrying. But I am pleased to see that 64 per cent of children report eating fruit every day. I wish it was a higher figure, but, nevertheless, it is 62 per cent, and 52 per cent eat vegetables every day, whereas, I think, 32 per cent of adults say that they’ve eaten five or more portions of fruit and vegetables the previous day. So, obviously, there is a lot of work to be done, but I do think that the Welsh Government has taken some very positive steps to address this issue.

I want to refer, again, to the active travel Act, because I think this is very important and will have an impact in encouraging people to build walking and cycling into their daily lives. We know that, at the moment, local authorities are currently undertaking preparations to create integrated network maps, and they’re to be submitted to the Welsh Government by September next year. I hope those maps will show areas for local walking and cycling routes that communities themselves believe should be prioritised. So, I hope that we are all able to draw attention to community groups and to this process, and encourage constituents to have input.

Like all of us, I am very concerned about the impact of consuming sugary drinks, and I was very pleased today to see that health experts have called for the Coca-Cola Christmas truck tour to be banned. This has been widely reported in the media. I really feel that this is a very detrimental event—this Coca-Cola Christmas truck. It stops at 44 places around the UK, including Cardiff. This Christmas, it was on Queen Street, and there were queues for free samples, which are handed out and that really just encourages children in particular to drink even more Coca-Cola. According to its own website, every can of regular classic Coke has seven teaspoons of sugar in it. I feel particularly strongly against this particular campaign because, in 2016—
