Abstract
We have been privileged to hear a minister’s view on the role of diet and exercise in the maintenance of good health. I wish to follow this by asking who will offer the choice and with how much vigour. Later in the day we will be told rather more about the choice itself, how it may be offered and something about the different health choices which some people are already making.
