Vinny got the views of Tam Fry, chair of the National Obesity Forum and Belfast GP Dr George O'Neill.

Also on the programme, the row over no-deal is heating up as Brexit day approaches.

Vinny spoke to 大象传媒 NI's Economics and Business editor John Campbell and got the views of TUV leader Jim Allister and SDLP MLA Claire Hanna.

Or should sensible moderation be an all year round thing? Vinny got the views of commentators Brendan Mulgrew and Paul Martin.
