Rising Cost Of Obesity Threatens NHS, UK

It's everywhere. It's everywhere.

"Widespread obesity is draining NHS resources, say a new independent report commissioned by health policy think-tank the King's Fund."

At least everyplace where people are making the mistake of paying for the results of bad decision-making by fat people.

"'With escalating numbers of people - including growing numbers of young people - being diagnosed, now is the time for action.'"

"Now is the time for action"? Hello.

The best action is to turn off the money spigot.

Stop paying for rescue and stop paying for research.

Let the offenders pay for the results of their behavior.

Silence the diet and fitness experts since they are killing us. (see here in general and here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.)

Prosecute the diet and fitness experts for their lies, misinformation, health advice, etc.

Provide people with correct weight control and fitness information. (see here, here, here and here, IMHO)

Then watch overweight and obesity and nutritional child abuse plummet.

"Sir Derek Wanless, the report's author, warns that the unnecessary expenses incurred by the health service will continue to soar if the UK's rising level of obesity is not curbed."

At least Derek gets that these expenses are "unnecessary."

Now what is he and what are we going to do about it?
