DIFFERENT action is needed to curb obesity in children.
Fat people would rather die than exercise so the "live longer" part holds no sway.
And if they wanted to eat less and move more, then they would not be fatsos in the first place.
You would think that the people in charge would finally do the right thing and give up on the failing ways of the past since they claim:
Clearly they would rather see kids sick and dead of nutritional child abuse.
So sad.
"More radical measures are needed to tackle childhood obesity, campaigners said this week after figures showed no decline in the number of overweight and obese children.The start was good with a call for "more radical measures," but those measures are not "more radical," just more of the same.
Almost a quarter of four- to five-year-olds in England's primary schools are overweight or obese, according to the latest data from the NHS Information Centre. And almost one in three children aged 10 to 11 are also overweight or obese, the figures showed.
The data represents little change from the proportion who were overweight or obese last year. It was drawn from the National Child Measurement Programme, which measures the weight of children in reception class (four- to five-year-olds) and Year 6 (aged 10 to 11) in primary schools in England."
"'Therefore, we really hope that the government's Change4Life campaign messages to tackle obesity- eat well, move more and live longer - will make people sit up and take notice.'"This is, of course, insane.

"'This new data confirms the shocking state of children's health in this country," said Saranjit Sihota, Head of Public Policy at Diabetes UK.But they don't.
'The link between obesity and Type 2 diabetes is well documented. Ten years ago children with Type 2 diabetes were unheard of, as it usually affects adults over the age of 40. But Diabetes UK estimates there are now at least 1,400 children who have it, some as young as seven years old.
'Diabetes is a serious condition and can lead to life-threatening complications such as stroke, kidney and heart disease. Diabetes UK recommends a healthy diet and regular physical activity to control weight and cut the chances of developing Type 2 diabetes.'"
Clearly they would rather see kids sick and dead of nutritional child abuse.
So sad.
