Weight obsession is a threat to health
Every magazine and newspaper bombards us with either too-thin celebrities or obese children. On one hand, we hear about the large increase in eating disorders while, on the other, we are constantly exposed to images of obese adults and children.
Especially worrying is the news that children’s uniforms are now being made up to a 42-inch waist and that children are on average four stone heavier than their grandparents.
