I'm sure many of you heard this this morning on the radio, but here's a bit from the BBC web report:
"'Too little done to cut obesity'"
"Seven government departments are criticised in the report, which accuses the government of failing to formulate joined up policies on obesity that link food, transport, education, health and work."
"The Department of Transport has also come in for scathing criticism."
"It has allowed pedestrians and cyclists to be swept aside during two generations of cities being reshaped to suit car drivers, the MPs say."
I love the way that the government gets the blame when its *us* that eat all the pies.
Well, it was the Govt that cancelled school dinners and replaced them with pie shops and coca cola vending machines, encouraged the sale of school playing fields, removed sports from the school curriculum, et cetera ad obesum.
