Yes agree about the bean counters as there are enough of those already within the existing NHS system.

 

Seems to me diet is where it should start, namely at home followed closely by education. We have a generation of younger people who don't know how to look after themselves or understanding the basic components of food. It's easier/quicker to buy something ready made without thinking about the longer term  consequences.

 

 

The Supermarket cartels need to take a long hard look at themselves but of course they won't because of their enormous profit incentives.  Ban fast food outlets, dreadful places!  I can't remember where I read it now as it was quite sometime back but there was an experiment in an area in California where they banned fast food outlets and monitored the health of a sample group both before the ban then about 4 months where the changes in their health were quite staggering.

Nothing wrong with fast food outlets if used properly!

I don't believe diet related problems are as bad as some would have us believe, a lot is just typical media hype. There may be a significant number of kids who will struggle to look after themselves in later life but it is a minority.

Fast food outlets are not the problem, stupid people are their own problem!!!
