## Resource

Our guest this week is Dr Donal O’Shea of UCD School of Medicine who speaks to regular hosts Michael Kelly and Wendy Grace about how to prevent obesity and be healthy at any weight, provided one makes healthy choices and exercises. As the HSE's Clinical Lead on Obesity in Ireland, he emphasises the importance of “children being active as a default”. They also discuss how consumers are hoodwinked by packaging, claims of 'healthy ingredients' and the rising levels of sugars in even the most basic food items.
