Key Industry Perspective (KIP)
Food and Health
The UK food and drink manufacturing industry takes the dietary needs and health
of all its consumers, especially children, very seriously. The industry, along
with the rest of the food chain, government, regulators and educators, has a
part
to play in working to combat obesity.
In a free society, individuals have both the right and the responsibility to
make choices about their own diet and lifestyle. The industry recognises that it
must play its part in helping people make informed choices about their diet.
However, diet is only part of the equation. Lifestyle factors play a huge role in
the nation's health.
