Are we just addicted to junk food and have lost our taste for sport? Has this governments trashing of competitive sport in schools and the selling off of all the playing fields got anything to do with the ' sickliest man of europe' tag?
Quote:
Britain has been branded "the sick man of Europe" after a Government report revealed a nation blighted by record levels of obesity, alcohol abuse, diabetes and smoking related deaths.
The rate of obesity in British adults is the worst in Europe and, in some areas, are now above the national average of the United States. In Boston, Lincolnshire, almost a third of men and women are now dangerously overweight.
