HomeBreaking WLS NewsChildhood Obesity Sparks Government Controversy in UK gwhqadmin August 14, 2009 Breaking WLS News 1 Comment One Response Owen Thompson August 19, 2009 Remarks by Nestle and Danone are no longer a persons private affair but a serious public issue that must be tackled by all responsible individuals and parents. Parents must encourage their children to be more active. Stop buying their children sedentary games, and encourage their children to eat more fruit and vegetables. Boycott fast food restaurants and take-a-ways and listen to the warnings. I was horrified to hear a doctor say that he would not see it as a problem until a patients BMI was 30 or above. For this I blame health ministers, the medical profession and other bodies that can prevent this epidemic for not issuing serious warnings as they do with the dangers of smoking, alcohol and drugs i.e heavy advertising and public awareness.
