suppose main problem is kids having kids - they have no idea how to cook a meal from scratch cos no one has ever taught them - grandmothers are getting younger - some in their thirties - I can only see the situation worsening |

i think rations should be brought back for the staple things. junk food and drinks should be taxed to the hilt. it would help people get back to cooking from scratch. the instant food barons have made mega money, our health suffers while they put crap into the food chain. a wake up call for all of us. |

I was always a skinny child, couldn't tell you what I weighed before the age of 15, wasn't until I had a medical for my first job (aged 15) that I learned I weighed 8 stone,over the years my weight never went up or down (only increasing in pregnancy,5 times) but always returning to the 8 stone mark. |

Absolutely agree....my FIL was underweight and assumed he was healthy....but what he didn't take on board was that his cholesterol was off the scale and eventually he died from a sudden heart attack. |

It is possible to eat healthily and still put on weight. If you eat more calories than you burn off then you will put on weight, it doesn't matter what those calories consist of. |

Not everyone is obese because they eat and drink the wrong types of things. It is a worry that they say some prefer to eat fast food instead of cooking a meal, but some could argue that fast food is exactly that in the busy society we have become. What I found interesting is one expert said all foods that are bad for us are cheaper than those that are good for us. Does this mean its more to do with economics and poorer families are more likely to be affected by obesity? If so then isn't the government to blame? Surely everyone's metabolism is different and different people react different to different types of foods. |

I don't think it's anything to do with a 'Nanny' Government whatsoever. It's a matter of listening to sensible advice being given by doctors. |

This Country is slowly turning in the Nazi state of the UK. what people eat , drink, eat or what they look like is no concern ot others. fizzy drink alone dosen cause obsity. its all about a balance diet and a blanced life style. sadly as time goes by the more the goverment caves into companies like tesco and 24 hr opening and more people doing shift work, children of today are being robbed of this |

Before long "they" will be sending out raiding parties to check our food cupboards fridges etc for so called "unsuitable" foodstuffs, & if people are found to be overweight a cross will be put on the house door!! |

Maybe if there were more mirrors in public places people could see how they look and judge whether they need to think about their body shape - both ways ! |
