A Growing Problem Challenge
(WORLD) In developed countries (now there's an oxymoron), obesity will be one of the biggest problems challenges for governments, health-care insitutions, schools etc to face.
There are already small programmes springing up to tackle this issue and even specific research which highlight geographical 'hotspots' of obesity. Now add to that wholesome brands trying to start a campaign to scrap VAT (value added tax) on their fruit smoothies, it's a simple case of 'joining-the-dots' here to get part of the answer.
With the UK government making their move and appointing a Minister for Fitness, surely it's a case of education not leglisation here? Do the simple things and 'show don't tell' this youth generation how to eat properly for a start…
