Britain: Are We Really Getting Fatter?

Haven't they stopped showing junk food adverts on childrens channels?

Also, McDonalds and fast food restaurants sell healthier food but when you walk in there, what are you gonna choose seriously? Big beef burger or caeser salad?

I think, it's pointless taking crisps away, cause kids still bring them to school -.-.
Our school stopped selling crisps, and the prices went up on everything, I wonder why. They were obvilously losing money cause kids just went in to get crisps. We have chips once a wekk, and some gross caked. They are, gross. We have to drink, Water (ok), Pure Orange (Ok), fruit smoothies (gross, minging and wierd, I mean STRAWBERRY AND BANANANA?)

Yeah we've got some horrible smoothies too and their so gloopy and sick, urgh.
Also, their are pot meals, like spaghetti bolognese, casserole etc, and the ammount of grease on them is so sick.
I usually just buy a sandwich at school or wait to get home.

I get a Jacket Potato, only nice thing left...

The only problem with the jacket potatoes at my school is they use the same knife to spread the tuna and butter and i hate tuna.

My college can't care less about what food you eat. There burgers, kebabs, chips, chocolate, fizzy drinks, chips, crisps and all the other junk. Some of its horrible so I tend to just get a chicken sandwhich.

So I think that we are in agreement that it is down to the person to stop making themself obese?
