Obesity

I'm sure many of you heard this this morning on the radio, but here's a
bit from the BBC web report:

"'Too little done to cut obesity'"

"Seven government departments are criticised in the report, which accuses
the government of failing to formulate joined up policies on obesity that
link food, transport, education, health and work."

"The Department of Transport has also come in for scathing criticism."

"It has allowed pedestrians and cyclists to be swept aside during two
generations of cities being reshaped to suit car drivers, the MPs say."

It also said that if the government could achieve its target of tripling
cycle use that would be the biggest single contribution to tackling the
problem

I love the way that the government gets the blame when its *us* that eat
all the pies.
