Is the correct answer .................

As you might know I am a sceptic, I have put on weight lost weight, been extremely fit and strong and more recently less so, I always have a look at current fads and I note they have begun to try and delete the word 'diet' out of their newly created pseudo science that will ensure we now only...

Perhaps, but my wifes school isnt in a leafy prosperous suburb, its deemed deprived, which is absolute rubbish by the way, but someone somewhere formulated a set of measures and that was the outcome, but you know what I mean :)

For clarity, I have convened a meeting with the other half and her four year group of children at her school ( 120 approx Year 1 & 2's) she can only think of 2 that might be classed as obese, one girl and one boy, I can move on to the years 3 up to years 6 but as I am already actively involved...

No your missing my main point, I dont care if someone is chubby, fat or obese, nor should you. If they seek help or have current associated health issues then of course they should access the appropriate help, not all fat people are vulnerable or uneducated. Why are you so eager to demonise...

Protect the vulnerable !! If I was vulnerable I would so much want to be left alone right now. I know the points being made and of course you need offer education to everybody, we all but a few know precisely why we put on weight and what would be a positive health change in all of our lives...

But my point is, so what. Why should you worry about someone being fat, I dont. Morbidly obese is something that is likely to have some intervention anyway, but ultimately if they do not have any health problems who are we to look into the future based purely on their BMI and guess a likely...

Is that you off then ..... :)

Your kidding me ........ Well I would tell the fat kids and those gay people to get a grip !!

Prevention of what, being fat and at what weight would you like to start your uninvited intervention, offer general advice to everybody but no more unless requested by any family to do so.

Aaaaah I hope there was intervention when you were fat and a kid at school, or at least pointing and laughing.

I never said dont listen, I have said listen, seek support if necessary and requested but do not impinge on another persons personal choices due to some arbitrary measure of what might be deemed reasonable or healthy at any one time. Hold on, everything has consequences for our NHS and effects...

Thats not quite true or at least needs a little context. Ultimately you will put on weight if you consume more calories than the amount you expend or vice versa. That part is pretty much engrained in science. There are firstly the quasi science based around fad diets, most that deviate too...

Well I never go to Chessington or Drusillas and after confirmation of loads fat kids I shall stay well away :) Its an honest observation when I say I go into schools throughout Sussex and I can honestly say I do not see the gaggle of these obese pupils, of course some exist but to me doesnt...

Nope, I or anyone within my family are smokers so I have no vested interest here. I can only assume that smoking is harmful, however I would guess that at sometime in the future some qualified research might show that it probably is not as imminently deadly as we suppose today. It was more of...

Which one, the medical profession that encouraged smoking for myriad of respiratory conditions or the ones more recent .........................

You must be young, dont hang your hat on intrusive health professionals, they are invariably proved wrong further upstream. I said offer the information, even support but do not impose or impinge on personal legal preferences.

I also go into schools and I think we have touched on this on a previous thread, but no my wife nor I see loads of fat children in school, we really do not, there are some but there has always been some. Strangely in ref: to fast food outlets, although some parents as always might use them it...

Firstly I do not accept that there is an obesity epidemic, if so then there must have been one throughout my lifetime. It seems there are quangos and unelected groups having a field day in the research area at present, always a matter of scale when commenting on the general population of...
