'On yer bike' says Boris...

He's probably got a bit of a point, especially when you look at the amount of people that are overweight and obese in the country.The figures are shocking really.
The government estimates that two-thirds (63%) of UK adults are above a healthy weight, with 36% overweight and 28% obese. One in three children aged 10 to 11 are overweight or obese, and children living with obesity are five times more likely to become obese adults.

Neighbours 11 year old kid has just walked past stuffing a bar of chocolate, I would bet money that she is heavier than my 22 year old son.
Obese kids is a disgrace.
I'm overweight on the bmi scale, and definitely have too much fat at the moment, after 4 months of lockdown.

Just as long as we also ban smoking, drinking and force everyone to do a minimum of 4 hours of exercise a week as well - I mean thats just as fair now isn't it!

I know that this blame-game is cyclic and it's come back to "blame the fatties" turn on this weeks "who do we hate" wheel but, alternatively, instead of living in a dystopian Hell where we have to "force" people like we're some kind of WW2 Gestapo, how about we look into ALL the reasons people can be unhealthy which includes weight, smoking, drinking and lack of exercise amongst others and come up with a plan to help people with ALL those aspects, rather than singling out a single one as this weeks "hate crime". Or do people just want a new target to hate this week instead?

Hasn't this all come about because Johnson nearly died, and being overweight is a contributory factor with the virus? He didn't give a carp about being fat before he got ill. So I'm not sure it's just 'this weeks hate' obesity is a big problem in this country and it does need some thought to sort it out.
Most people still won't change their lifestyles though.
