    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.

    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...

      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.

    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 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.

    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 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?

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.

      @ 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.

      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.
