Although obesity is a growing problem, and poses health issues for future generations, I don't particularly admire a government spending vast amounts of tax payers money telling us that if we eat to much we may get fat.

Nanny State here we go again.

A problem they seem all too keen to shy away from is the more concerning increase in people's alcohol consumption, especially amongst young people.

The odd warning about drink driving at Christmas is about as much guidance they can muster. I wonder if it is in any way connected to the powerful lobby groups employed by the drinks indusrty?

After all I've not heard of town centres being taken over by groups of young people eating Kit-Kats, or people being murdered by youths high on the fact that they had had too many sausage rolls.
