Fighting the flab
Article Abstract:
An increase in the number of children and adults in U.K., who were overweight or obese due to unhealthy eating and lack of exercise, causing various health problems, is mentioned. The Government's strategy unit and the British Medical Association have proposed to levy tax on fatty food as a step to fight obesity but implementation of the fatty food tax would be difficult as identification of such food would not be possible.
