The Government's Obesity Strategy, More Of The Same Rhetoric - British Medical Journal

Here is the pot calling the kettle black.

"Nigel Hawkes chronicles a decade of the UK Government's attempts to tackle obesity, including its latest bid to turn the tide on obesity 'which is so smothered in jargon' that it is hard to understand.

He says: 'The danger of wrapping an issue such as obesity up in the language of sociology and systems analysis is that it all begins to seem impossibly complicated.

'It is as if one needs to solve all the problems of society in order to tackle one relatively small sub-problem.' "

Finger-pointing. Not wrong, though.

And it will never change so long as the powers that be continue to offer doomed-to-fail advice which are based on impossible recommendations.
