The following Pause for Parenting programme looks at the rights of children to healthy food and the responsibility of parents to ensure that children have access to healthy foods. Francine Charles who is the Programme Manager for the Childhood Obesity Programme, shared about the work of the programme and the concern that the rights of children are not being met by some parents. She pointed out the results of when children do not have access to healthy foods or exercise and the high incidences of non communicable disease among children.
