Obesity: "ultimately it is up to individuals and parents to assume some personal responsibility"

'16% of boys aged 2-4 are obese'

"What more warning could we possibly need that this crisis has to be addressed? And it has to be addressed at once. Of course the NHS and the Scottish Government have to take this on, but ultimately it is up to individuals and parents to assume some personal responsibility.
"With the exception of some medical conditions, obesity isn't something you catch on the bus. That message has to be hammered home, otherwise more people will die needlessly and our NHS will strain even further under this immense pressure."
