Obesity In Young People, UK

What does not work. But still costs.
"Research into childhood obesity in Leicestershire secondary schools and the factors that deter young people from adopting healthy lifestyles concluded that the influence of peer pressure, cost of healthy foods, taste and hunger satisfaction and image proved to be a formidable barrier to the wholesale adoption of healthier ways of eating and exercising among young people."
School-based programs, coddling and government involvement.
"Professor Khunti commented: 'Worryingly, pupils' lifestyle habits remained poor even after the project had ended.'"
It is insane to believe that you can change irresponsible behavior in the schools when kids go home to toxic parents.

If this were possible, on a much, much simpler undertaking, kids would study more and not be poor students.

Money spent on this crap is clearly wasted.
