Think back to just last week and the Health White Paper. Two of the proposals were to ban advertising junk food on TV before 9pm and to promote healthy eating in schools.
But obviously I missed something that Michael Howard spotted.
Mr Howard said he welcomed some of the measures listed in the Queen's Speech but predicted the general response would be: "Haven't we heard it all before?"
He criticised the government for downgrading cannabis to a class C drug, something the Tories say jars with the promised new drug testing laws.
He went on: "What does it say about this prime minister's priorities when he talks about protecting children from sweets and crisps but he won't keep them safe from cannabis?"
The last time I looked, cannabis was still illegal, not advertised on TV and certainly not available in school vending machines. So what's Howard going on about?
