Neil Down Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Not much chance whilst fast food outlets are here. As an aid, I see Burger King will be opening up in The Strand in the very near future http://www.iomtoday.co.im/article.cfm?id=38739&headline=Do more to fight obesity in children§ionIs=news&searchyear=2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Good subject Neil. Is it the amount of food outlets or lack of self-control and parental responsibility which causes obesity in kids? It's not as if people are force-fed. Unfortunately, obese parents usually means obese kids. Bad habits die hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Daphne should be telling the irresponsible parents who create this problem in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody2 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 three 15 minute fast walks a day while at school should sort the fatties out, take a leaf out of trumps book- give the teachers paintball guns to take the slowest out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 As long as you give it a good shake and leave the bottom part of the bun because all the calories sink to the bottom. Did you know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Department of Education and Children has rolled out a 'Walk a Mile' thing for schools. It's been in place for quite some time now. My kids all do it at their school....whether they like it or not! Personally, I think it's a great idea even though none of my children are obese in the slight and get plenty of exercise.

Max Power Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I always walked to school, as did my classmates. There were very few chubby kids around then, most were just well built rather than fat anyway. Unfortunately I then found beer which did my figure no good whatsoever.

wrighty Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I’m all for encouraging exercise, as it has many proven benefits. But, obesity is almost all about diet. Walking a mile burns about 100 calories in the average adult, so less in a child. A small chocolate biscuit provides the same. You cannot out-train a bad diet.

When I was at high school in the late 60s, there was roughly one fat kid per class. They stood out a mile, god love them. Now the slim / skinny kid sticks out and concerns are raised about their eating habits WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
