The government published a report yesterday saying that we need to eat more healthily, with more fruit and vegetables, and less fat and sugar. That mean fewer burgers, chips and fried food, as well as cutting down on sweet things. We went to central London yesterday at lunchtime and asked some people what they thought about it.

"It's got nothing to do with the government what I eat", says Paul Keel, a building worker, as he eats a beefburger and chips washed down with strawberry milkshake. "I think I have a healthy diet. You see, I don't normally eat a beefburger for lunch. Normally, I just have chips. "Any fish?" "I like cod. But I've only ever had it once."

Tim Kennor, a librarian, welcomes the government's advice, but he also has his own rules. "I think", he explains, eating his fried chicken and chips, "it's important to eat a variety of food."

We asked Dorothy Mathew, aged 74, who said: "I don't think it's the government's business to tell us what to cat". We then went to Simpson's Restaurant and asked the manager if people had changed what they were eating. "I don't think people believe all these reports anymore. What they say is good for you in June, they say is bad for you in July. People have stopped taking notice. We serve what we've always served. Almost all of it is fattening."
