A rather short response to the editorial: I initially saw the "
pullava" surrounding this on a TV website. I agree wholeheartedly with the
authors; the current situation is
un-sustainable Generations of the future will be obese, T2 diabetes will
be the norm and goodness knows what cancers will prevail.
Not only lack of exercise is child neglect but so too overfeeding your
child ( particularly with foods of low nutritional value) and smoking in
their presence . People say " I love my kids"....really?
