Yes but my point is this money could be spent on more deserving things IMO.

Don't be ridiculous Emamum .. what is the difference between healthy lifestyle and diet .. same difference to me ... :confused:

I haven't any issue with people who are overweight ... it's how you feel yourself about it and if it is affecting your health.

Ok Emzy .. you feel you are overweight (I understand about your tummy area due to those gorgeous boys you have brought into the world). Let us monitor you and give us your consumption of food over the next three days (no cheating) and can compare against our slimmer members, if that is what you want, which appears to be an issue for you.

Start now .. what have you eaten today ? ... no lying please.

But it's costing the country millions Bernie, so by doing this programme, could save the country millions to be spent on other things.

im talking about the difference.....if you say diet then people automatically think, atkins, cabbage soup, detox etc....... im talking about what they eat for the rest of their lives

Ok .. these diets are extreme aren't they ... a diet to me is just common sense as mentioned in my earlier post. Cut out the crap like puddings, sugars, etc. smaller portions.

But as Westender pointed out it is most likely to be parents who can't be bothered who have children with obesity. You only have to look at families walking round town and you wil find that a lot of the parents are overweight. Maybe a bit less junk food would help.

No-one is suggesting that all kids turn into clones of each other with exactly the same measurements.....just that they be alive and within the healthy weight range for their age and height.

Re: Over Weight School Children To Get Home Help
 

not so much fat children , its the jumbo parents that need seeing to. was in the local supermarket this morning and came to the conclusion ...there should be a law .......if your ass/hips are wider than a standard shopping cart you are not allowed into the store :eek: :eek:

Re: Over Weight School Children To Get Home Help
 

Jumbo parents very often breed jumbo kids and need educating about healthy food. This is why home visits have been suggested... to help the parents which in turn will help the child.

Pity the person who gets the job of writing up the job description for the 'thin' police , .... " all applicants MUST meet BMI index standards, 25 being the maximum etc. " ...." employment is dependant on staying thin etc. ".......guess discrimination is okay in this instance .
No doubt the local councils will end up paying out millions in compensation for hurting the feelings of some fat typist who had to type it up . ;) ;)

They would do better to spend the money on getting back the school playing fields and encouraging outdoor activity PT, games, sport, hopscotch, skipping......also getting parents to see that carbonated drinks are bad for their childrens health.

I am not sure if the fixation with weight at an early age could be harmful and encourage children to become anorexic/bulimic later on in their childhood.

Where did you hear this, Bernadette?

Can you put a link up?

I can't seem to find one.

It was in the Lancashire Telegraph today.
