the story about the 3 yr old dying from heart failiure is a fucknig disgrace....my mam used to work at the freemen & she found it bad enough that there were ppl in their 20's & 30's i ntheir dying of heart failiure but that just takes the biscuit!

Is it just me...

Call me an old war horse who shoots from the hip, but is it not blatantly obvious, that zero exercise, lard, beer, smokes, boat loads of sugar, buckets of salt, couch potato culture, home computer gaming and more lard equals a very unhealthy life style.

Or am I being picky with this notion?

its the fucking goverment with a bee in their bonnet about this... let people do what the fuck they want. i ain't complaining.

crikey, you might be on to something there Lee

Re: Obesity!!!!

What happened to a "human is human" ... or does that not apply to lardy folk.

Can't see anything changing, the companies will not want their profits to drop, there's too much money involved. No doubt the Gov will launch a PR "Initiative" to combat the bad press, then it will be yesterdays news...

Scenario...

I suppose when obese babies are being born and obese police officers cant fit into patrol cars to chase criminals, perhaps then Emperor Blair might do something.

This will probably be in the form of 'consultancy' period, to see what the problem is and what causes it.

After that, perhaps random witch hunt style court room dramas featuring Ronald, The Colonel and Captain Birdseye?

Has anyone noticed that the children, depicted in KFC wall murals, are always fat?

Social engineering at its best.

Not true! If people bothered their arses to go to places like Grainger Market, they could get boat loads of fresh fruit and veg for next to nothing! Plus, if you eat less, you can afford to eat more healthily.

I find it very frightening to know that two-thirds of the adult population of the UK is either overweight or obese. Talk about a strain on the NHS.

Eating healthier is FAR cheaper, I almost halfed my shopping bill over the last few weeks by stopping buying shite.

Which is why I said places like the Grainger Market! Most people will be able to get to somewhere similar without too many problems. Shut after work? Then go on a lunch break or weekend.

We accuse the government of becoming more like a nanny state, then expect it to do everything for us.

I think you'll find it is the companies that sell alcohol, cigarettes and junk food, not the government. Yes, the government taxes them, but, given the high taxes on alcohol and cigarettes, does the government not act in a round-about way to make sure we can't afford to drink and smoke as much as we might otherwise? Blaming the government is a cop-out. Individual people are responsible for what they put in their mouths, no-one else.

Personally, I find my own health enough of an incentive not to get seriously overweight. Why should the government have to incentivise eating healthily? People should take responsibility for their own actions. It seems that the good old US blame culture is becoming more and more entrenched in our society.

i like how no1's actually talked about obesity on this thread, just the lifestyle that society associates with it!

obesity is a recogniged disease, with risk factors, signs and symptoms, not a pattern of behaviours...

one third of the determination of body weight can be accounted for by genetic factors, so its not always just cos fatty ate too much, it was all junk food an they only get off there arses to go to the toilet.

it is scary tho... thinking that prevalence has increased by 15% in the last 20 years, an in children its increased by more than 3x in the same period, an now about 10% of all 10-11 year olds are obese... not just a bit overweight, thats clinically obese!

the government has recently introducted the national healthy scholl initiative, whilst cutting the amount of time available for pe...

its shocking how 25% of all people are still not achieving the WHO recommended amount of the accumulation of 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most, prefrable all days of the week...

an moderate intensity activity is just walking fast!

Tax energy dense foods, then they can pay for the extra strain on the NHS which is only gonna get worse in the future

thats what i always say needs to start happening...

no, its no Mcdonalds fault you're fat, you went in an bought the food, and ate it, therefore its your fault.
