Obese Kids

#health - Up to 25 percent of all children in the United Kingdom will be obese by the year 2050, according to the British Heart Foundation (BHF). This will make it much more likely that children will become obese adults, and run a far greater risk of developing coronary heart disease, the UK’s biggest killer.

The BHF is urging the Government to take action, in particular to bring in tighter regulations in the marketing of ‘junk food’ to children.
