Hi flip_flop, britain is a nation of overweight people, and it it is getting worse, I know some people have thyroid problems but basically I think we are a mainly a lazy lot who eat the wrong food and far too much of it, and with the lack of PE in schools and the advent of computers it is going to get worse, a lot of kids spend hours in front of a screen instead of being out playing football etc,
but also lots of playing areas have gone for housing so the kids have nowhere to play, so the wheel keeps turning,
But to see a nation of real heavyweights go to the USA, i have been there quite a lot and cannot believe how bad it is there even in the theme parks they ride around on buggies get off the buggy go on the ride back on to the buggy and go to the next ride, if they walked between them they might, just might lose a bit of weight,
also here kids never walk to school do they and fat kids = fat adults, now I am gonna get slated, ok go give it to me !!!
