England Takes Action in Obesity Crisis
A step in the right direction is what I would call the new program unveiled by Prime Minister Gordon Brown in England Monday when he announced schools would increase physical education from 2 to 5 hours a week. The action is taken on the heals of a report that announced a full 50% of Britons would be obese within 25 years if current trends continue. I agree with the article when they note the school initiative is good, although more importantly is what parents are doing at home to both set an example and teach their children proper eating and activity habits.
