Should the government take a firmer stance on obesity?It's not about a nanny state. It's about provision and access. Many people, particularly young parents, are short of both time and money these days. This makes it difficult or even impossible for them to afford healthy foods and make time for exercise for themselves and their children. If healthy living was made cheaper and more easily accessible then everybody would have the possibility of a healthy lifestyle choice. In my opinion, we have to look realistically at ordinary people's lives and make change as easy as possible if we want it to happen.ViewDate:

Should the government take a firmer stance on obesity?Legislation re limits on hidden sugars and sugar substitutes in so many processed foods. Legal requirement that all workers take one hour's lunch break daily and facility for exercise during this time. Cheaper fresh and healthy foods. Provision for safe bicycling. Free gym/swimming access.
