Help the Fatties
Boo hoo. We're a bunch of fatties:
The Federal Health Minister has told Parliament obesity is one of the most important public health issues Australia faces but he says individuals have to play a role in addressing the problem.
A report by Access Economics estimates the annual financial cost of obesity is close to $4 billion.
The federal Opposition has accused the Government of making a token effort to address obesity.
Tony Abbott has hit back, saying Labor is committed to a nanny state.
"Just as Government has a role, individuals also have a role, and in the end no government can or should try to regulate what individuals eat or the amount of exercise that individuals take," he said.
Please help me. I didn't know eating tons of greasy crap and sitting on my arse all day was bad for me. I was never taught at school which food was healthy? What's an apple?
In other news, I played a gruelling hour of squash today which means I've earnt myself a beer. Or two.
