But that headline had this idea that 80% of the health outcomes we can do something about.

If we start with exercise, exercise is free and it's easy to do.
You can go to a park, go for a walk.
If you don't walk, you can...
Curl some tins of beans.
I mean, there are endless things that you can do that are free, accessible.
Why is exercise not a pure matter of personal responsibility?
it's not merely that governments make people exercise, they create joyful spaces that people want to physically commute through to work, don't they?
In the book, you talk about Paris and the changes.
If anyone's been to Paris over the last decade or so, you've seen it transformed.
You talk about the resistance that was faced.
Can you just explain a bit about that?

And you never have time to go upstream and work out who's pushed them in the river.
