British children are bigger because of diet....have you seen the state of school meals...its beige lacks nutrients and is filled with trans fats and the odd canned miniature carrot. It needs an overhaul. Food retailers make a profit at our children's expense. Why aren't contracts put out to tender for firms who care and produce dinners that are healthy and tasty...
Jamie oliver tried and failed. Only banning this ultra- processed junk will work. And it will still take a generation to undo the psyche that this was even food!
dropping the physical in body experience of sport in secondary is terrible because it is needed to balance all that mental learning. It's also terrible because your just getting your adult body growing and it's weird
School meals have been bad for a long long time.... This biggest issue is lifestyle. Kids are spending more time indoors, more time on their phones and more time playing video games or trying to become UA-cam influencers instead of being outside, active and committing themselves to physical activity.
In Australia the banned junk food from school canteens Yeats ago, my grandson goes to a sip and crunch primary school which encourages drinking water, and crunching on apples pears and other fruit, there ate not many overweight kids in his school , this is in place at high school as well.
we also dont have school meals like they do over there.. so we do have some control over what they are eating. If you saw Jamie Olivers attempts to get rid of the fried foods it was heartbreaking to see parents sabotage the efforts.
The man being abused. Lots of love! I hope you will find your way forward! And the guy who got clousure… I am still looking for closure. What a story... Broke my heart
France is the second largest Macdonalds market after the US. But, its true that they go there for meals, not snacks. But my main point is that France has not allowed everything to be sold off and milked for all its worth. They invest in the people (school lunches, quality of life etc), and do not have a society where what you eat determines your tribal identity. The UK started going off on the tangent in the 80s.... uncoincidentally correlated with the right wing individualism of Thatcherism, small state, market rules... oh and industrial farming methods
Our pathetic inability to point the fingers at the people who are MOST responsible for childhood obesity is going to mean we go nowhere with this issue and it's only going to get worse. It's not Schools - which we seem to think should be raising our kids (not just educating them) for some reason. IT IS ABOUT BAD PARENTING Waaah don't attack parents, it's not our fault we don't have money blah blah blah. It costs NOTHING to be a parent who gets their kids outside, limits screen time and pushes an active lifestyle. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LIVES OF YOUR OWN CHILDREN - OR DON'T HAVE THEM.
I recently watched a video of British first world war troops boarding a train to go off to war, some had their families seeing them off, out of the hundreds of people who were on the platform there was not one overweight person.
Our average height was also smaller then. It’s super processed food which we are importing from America that’s the problem. Brexit further weakened food standards to twerk for a U.S. trade deal. Cheap processed food is now massively cheaper than organic real food, capitalism of the nature we have now will charge you a premium to eat real healthy food. I personally don’t want weird oils in my food or corn syrup. But as I kid I loved sweet food as most kids do,
Gradually since the 80's there has been a rise in fast food shops. People have access to cars allowing them tend drive even a short distance. Where as once upon a time we'd walk or cycle.
When we get proper education on what is nutritious, cost effective and sustainable then we will be empowered to change! The UK still has a post war mentality with regards to food!
Sugar. Address the fact that is literally put in everything as a preservative and you're halfway there. Then of course theres the links between covid and obesity but shush we arent meant to address that either.
Ultaprocessed foods, genetically modified foods. That is sticking to us, killing us. Food colorings, salts and so many different sugars, carbohydrates.
Adverts on TV for any type of fast food delivered to your facehole is a big problem. Only the government can stop this. Sugar too, cut out the sugar and the weight drops off.
@bumberClart1000 it is on home made porridge though. I have diabetes type 1. I count my carbs, for which I need a certain amount of insulin. So 15 gramms of sugar are 15 gr carbs. I seldom eat more than 60gr of carbs per meal. So where's the problem? (Did you want to know all that? I suppose not. Doesn't matter, I said it all the same) Have a merry Christmas 🎄
@@medievalladybird394 thank you for the response. I’m 62 and weigh the same as I did at 18. I fast a few days a week and mainly eat 1 meal a day. I exercise moderately not madly. A little brown sugar won’t do you too much harm. However for me it gives me headaches that can turn to migraines. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas 🎄
@@bumberClart1000 I'll be 72 next year. If I still weighed the same as at 18, - 56kg at 176 cm - , I'm guessing my doctors would be worrying. Sadly type 1diabetes has nothing to do with weight problems as you may well know. My body just decided to stop producing insulin 14 years ago. I thought I was near death, which I was. Another two weeks and I would have been a goner they said. So I got the illness for the hairsplitter that I am, plus I learned how to use my maths I had never understood at school. Insulin doesn't help against talking too much though. 😂 Take care, stay safe.
I think there is a huge link between food and emotions. The link with addictions is interesting, as high processed foods have been shown to stimulate a similar part of the brain. But Goves education changes saw the school I worked in stop teaching food and nutrition as part of curriculum, reduction in fitness, so there are many aspects to this conversation.
Its normal in the netherlands for children to have 2 sports/ activities. After school activities are backed by the education funds, 6 weeks of football or fishing cost the parent 6 Euros. When joining school, you sign a permissions slip which mean you can walk or cycle to a sports hall off site you can cycle to the local museum covering the history your learning. Grown ups often keep up doing a sport seen as normal. Ppl are far too sedentary, its too expensive to just try things and yeah at age 11 (secondary) sports goes out the window for academia.
I did, and I was asking you what you think of Starmers skills at not only addressing the house but while on the subject the country as a whole. It’s hard to ask or catch him out as one all he does is reel out the old favourite 22 mill black hole, or just not answer the question
My 13 YO overtook me height wise when he was 11, and is now comparable weight wise. 1.8m, 95 kg. Some days he comes in and eats 400g of meat and 4 eggs as a snack. And he's not skinny but he's not particularly fat.
@@gregchew8225 So James isn't allowed to let people know which social media platforms he's using? And why aren't you complaining about James mentioning that he's also still using Twitter/X?
@ I got bored , however he thought it ok in the past to fat shame people . Radio presenter James O’Brien used to bully overweight people. He came to understand that he was using some of the same tactics that others use to dehumanize various kinds of people O’Brien used to engage in weight-shaming on his radio show, even though he himself was overweight. At one point he was actually proud that a slur he had coined on the radio was gaining traction in the world (a caller told him that her daughter had used it against an overweight person in the supermarket). He compares his prejudice against fat people to the prejudice some Brits have against immigrants: He lumped them all together to dehumanize them.
The problem with forced sport is is due to lack of funding the default is gonna’ be football. And no offence, football is boring to watch and boring to play
To be fair, plenty of people in the UK see themselves as set apart from the rest of Europe because the UK is an island unto itself. It's also not part of the EU anymore. In a way, it's the opposite of how the US is just one country in the Americas but it is often called America without any regard for the rest of the North, Central and South American countries.
@DennisMoore664 Outside the USA they are ridiculed about that, yes. But with regards to the UK and England in particular, this misconception has been dragged into politics and a clear "us and them". Mixing up Europe and the EU is not only ignorance and pretentiousness, but actually dangerous as it helped Brexit, which now we all are suffering. So let's speak properly and correct what is wrong and coming from a ridiculous superiority complex that has no place in modern times.

"Ulta Processed People ", Chris Van Tullrken explains it all .
It’s quite frightening. Where will this end. Food education?
You are so right James! So many foods are full of sugar and additives. Ordinary porridge maybe with sliced banana and a little honey are excellent.
In Australia the banned junk food from school canteens Yeats ago, my grandson goes to a sip and crunch primary school which encourages drinking water, and crunching on apples pears and other fruit, there ate not many overweight kids in his school , this is in place at high school as well.

Yeats would approve.
When was the last time porridge was advertised anyway?
The kind with golden syrup or chocolate in it? All the time

Yes, I like porridge. Water, oatmeal, a pinch of salt. Let the hot thick porridge swim like an island in cold milk (and cover it with brown sugar).
