Question 20447 — consumption

Summary

Ms. Aude Luquet draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the need to strengthen the fight against obesity through better consumer information. In France, 17% of adults and 4% of children suffer from obesity. More than 50% of adults and 20% of children are overweight. These numbers continue to grow. Faced with this evil which spreads insidiously through the contents of the plates, the margins of maneuver are mainly based on prevention. Acquiring good eating reflexes starts at a very young age because the probability of being an obese adult is close to 100% when you were a child. To fight obesity, it is necessary to strengthen the national strategy by carrying out awareness-raising actions aimed at the public and health professionals. New tools have appeared to guide choices of the consumer but they remain insufficient. The Nutri-score is one of the indicators which have been able to demonstrate their effectiveness, but as this remains optional, it is far too little present on the shelves to be truly satisfactory. If the fight against obesity must be waged in France, it must also be waged at the level of the European Union. She asks him how France intends to strengthen the nutritional information given to consumer and how it intends to lead the fight against obesity at the European Union level by generalizing a common indicator such as the Nutri-score.
