I'm Scared

obese

(UK) Everyone is afraid of something. We all have our little phobias and some are more obvious than others.

I hate hypodermic needles. Always have done and feel sick when I see them on TV or simply pass out if you come at me with one. But there is something that scares me even more—reading stats like these:

In 1995 the number of obese 11-15 year olds rose from 14% to 24% in 2004. For girls it went from 15% to 26%

That simply scares me. Having a quarter of young people in this country classed as obese is simply a nightmare.

Are there any brands or businesses out there who want to work with me to develop a campaign or project to try and reverse some of these figures? (A huge task I know but hell, if we don't at least try blah blah blah)
