Do you think the new government (UK) health initiative is going to make any difference?
So, the government is doing some big marketing thing about healthy living in a bid to reduce the level of obesity in this country, do you think it'll work? I'm sceptical myself.

- I think the nation will get fatter as we will be reminded of food more. Who on earth would take any advice about anything from this government?
- No, as health(y) food are generally more expensive than most and seeing as obesity affects more those of the working class, this will be another poorly thought-out exercise as most people cannot afford it especially in the credit crunch. This another Government proposal that makes a lot of noise with no results.
- It is just another load of Nanny State New Labour twaddle. Of course it won't work because the motivation to lose weight and get healthy must come from the individual.
- I don't think it will work. What the obese really need is to be refused any kind of medical weight loss treatment until they have been going to the gym for at least 6 months. if the obese people were given free gym membership, on the condition that they go every other day, i am sure it would help. They should also have to go to 'healthy food' classes, and be taught about eating healthy, and portion size. EDIT: to the person above me who said that healthy food was too expensive, thats not the case at all. Pasta, rice, and turkey are all cheap. If you buy the fruit and veg thats in season, that will be cheaper too.
- You know what its BOLLOCKS.It wont work they should be forcing obese people into exercise they should make it law.Just like going to school its law you have to do it.People who dont exercise have a fear of exercise because they think its too hard when in fact its only hard at first.All it takes is a week of exercise and after that it gets easy.Its like going to school for the first time on the first day its scary but once you settle in and meet people you just get on with it,just like exercise. HEALTHY EATING is only a very small part of the process.You cant get healthy just by healthy eating thats BOLLOCKS.
