Thanks:<br />
A big thank you to all the youth groups that took<br />
part in our consultation, cookery classes <strong>and</strong> filled in<br />
the survey monkey. We are also extremely grateful to<br />
East CHCP for sharing their experience in developing<br />
food guidelines, <strong>and</strong> West CHCP for their ideas on<br />
establishing healthy tuck shops.<br />
