Claire Byrne viewers have taken to social media in hoards as one segment tonight focused on putting a higher price on sweets and treats as Ireland copes with rising obesity figures.
The host was joined live in-studio by experts on the subject of obesity and nutrition as they showed exactly what kids can buy for as little as €5 in popular shops.
The guests purchased sweets from Lidl, Aldi, Tesco, Euro Giant, and Dealz for under a small budget, and most ended up equalling over 2,000 calories.
