Obesity 'requires climate plan'

Probably because of all the hot air surrounding the overweight/obesity issue, including this stuff.

"Professor Philip James said the challenge of obesity was so great that action was needed now, even without clear evidence of the best options."

Always a good start (and usual) when one is "without clear evidence of the best options."

"The chairman of the International Obesity Taskforce wants world leaders to agree a global pact to ensure that everyone is fed healthy food."

And an even better foundation since "healthy" food is not the issue.

"A study of 5,000 men and women who lost an average of 70lbs (30kg), and kept the weight off for six years, shows that large lifestyle changes - such as exercising 60 to 90 minutes a day - were needed to keep people slim."

Bull. Not necessary and will not work for most people.
