A New Old Validated Fact

Quote:

Childhood obesity in the UK has reached ‘alarming’ levels with up to a third being dangerously fat, warn doctors.

They claim Britain is ‘the fat man of Europe’ and the problems have set in by the age of nine.

A report also says the UK’s child death rate is the second worst in western Europe, with an estimated five extra deaths a day compared with the best performing country.

One in 10 children – around three in every classroom – has a diagnosable mental health condition but even those identified are often not treated properly.

In a wide-ranging report, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), which represents doctors specialising in children and young people, issues a wake-up call to politicians.

It says childhood obesity statistics ‘continue to cause alarm’ with 26 per cent of boys and 29 per cent of girls overweight and obese ‘storing up serious health problems for the future’.

British girls under 20 are the fattest in Europe – topping a league table of 22 nations in Western Europe.

British boys under 20 are 10th in the league table, with Greece at the top where one-third of boys are ranked as fat.

Recent research for the period 1980-2013 says there has been a substantial increase in overweight and obese children and adolescents in developed countries, including the UK.

The RCPCH wants a ban on advertising of foods high in saturated fats, sugar and salt before 9pm, and restrictions that stop them being advertised on internet ‘on-demand’ services.

Food and nutrition training should be mandatory for teachers as part of a bid to improve children’s diet in schools, along with more activity for children promoted via more cycle lanes and 20mph speed limits.

The Vision2015 report says death rates of children under five are second to bottom in a league table of 21 nations, at 4.9 deaths per 1,000 children born compared with 7.0 in Malta.

The number of needless deaths among preschool children is similar up to the age of 14, with five extra dying each year who would not die in Sweden, among the best performing countries.

The number of children dying needlessly each year in the UK compared with Sweden amounts to almost 2,000 each year.

RCPCH President Dr Hilary Cass said there would be ‘serious consequences’ if no concerted effort is made by the next Government to improve children and young people’s health.

She said politicians must give a similar priority to young people that had been awarded to the elderly.

She said ‘The main focus of health and social care policy from successive Government has been on meeting the needs of an ageing population.

‘Many of the big ticket policies – such as pension increases, winter fuel allowances and free TV licences - have made a welcome difference to many older people We now want to see equal focus given to our younger population.

‘Not only should this be done because it directly benefits children and young people but also because it will improve the health of the nation as a whole.

‘Healthy children are more likely to be healthy adults – and of course the reverse is also true.’

Lisa Murphy, a member of the RCPCH’s Youth Advisory Panel, said the health of young people in the UK has been falling behind the rest of Europe’ for too long’.

She said ‘There is an overwhelming body of evidence which highlights the need for early intervention in ensuring good health - through integration of health and education, reduction of socioeconomic inequalities and mandatory provision of paediatric training for all those in community health services.’

I'm not even remotely surprised by this.

Gym culture only really exists for men here.

Even normal size girls are still fat and jiggly.

Can you feel for us Brits now? Our women are the fattest in Europe, but the men are actually quite low for such a western nation. 1 out of 10 kids has me tap disorders, mainly because the women are so reliant on alcohol through pregnancy. When I was a small kid, there was 1 maybe 2 fat kids in each school year, and everyone knew about it. Now when I see kids going to primary school it's around 8-10 a class.

Yep, no surprise here. There are many places in Britain and Ireland that could be easily be mistaken for farms, such are the number of wildebeasts waddling around.

If you spend time in SEA the idea of the english gentlemen or prim and proper englishwoman gets blown apart within the first few days just around Bangkok.

Aye, this has been a well known fact since Tony Blair came to power.

The lame thing is that SJWs and "progressives" see this as a good thing. That these people are happy with their body image and that their "thyroid problem" is now finally accepted by the masses.

They will pay the ultimate price when their men don't want to fuck British women anymore. With the women getting fatter and fatter, I wouldn't be surprised to see a complete drop-off in the country's sexual market. All the men will be chasing after the few remaining thin girls, who, will have the biggest egos because the rest of their girl friends look like land whales. The fat girls and the betas will all lose, most turning to liberalism as a way to add meaning to whatever is left of their life. The guys who do manage to snag the thing girls will mostly be miserable because of their poor attitudes and lack of wife-like qualities. Who will really be happy in the end?

That's why I laugh whenever someone calls liberal thinking "progress". This is not progress. This is the kind of thing that destroys societies by removing the rules of the social contract that created society in the first place. What they are actually doing is moving more towards a primitive future in terms of the sexual marketplace. And that's why I will oppose this kind of thing at every turn.

What Britain really needs right now is a heavy campaign of fat-shaming.

Whenever I hear a fat girl say she's got a thyroid problem, I always respond: "thyroids must have a lot of calories".

Fine parents of overweight children and force them to take nutrition classes. Jail them if they don't abide.

I don't like the government telling people what to do, but this is child neglect. It should be a crime to allow your children to become obese. It'd be a crime to let them roll in a pile of asbestos knowingly. I see no difference with letting them become overweight.

I was checking in to a hotel in Dali and as the receptionist said "I'll show you up to your room," a guy screams "oh, no you don't!" from behind. Then proceeds to cause a ruckus. It turns out he just wanted plates for the buffet before they ran out of food. Then he apologizes, as he's waiting there.

I suppose that's how the British colonized so many places; they take what they want first then try to make good afterward. Left a real sour impression.

The girl above looks North American to me, I don't have to go far to see that size girl. This makes me sad, real sad.

Its not as bad as these surveys and newspaper articles make out. I see plenty of slim, athletic and thin girls. I also see a lot of chunky monkeys waddling around. Age does women no favours and the obsession with junk food takes its toll.

I concur, more like "Lower class bitches are the fattest on the planet.
