"Research just published on bmj.com reports that current primary care policies aimed at reducing obesity and increasing physical activity in children are very costly to run and not successful...Duh.
'The global long-term physical, emotional, social, reproductive and economic consequences of childhood obesity are likely to be extremely serious,' says the study. This has led many countries to promote screening and counseling programs designed for children. 'However', say the authors, 'very little evidence exists to show this kind of intervention works'".
Guess someone woke-up down under.
Makes no difference.
The recommendations are hopeless:
"...research led by the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia, questions whether resources would be better spent on prevention and improving treatment for obesity."First, diet recommendations are all wrong from the get-go.
Second, their mindset is prevention and treatment.
You do not need to treat if you can successfully prevent.
This is a clear waving of the white flag.
And a green light for the rest of us to pay for the fat.
Don't stand for it. (Australia residents, click here)
