It was reported in the Guardian yesterday that the NHS is going to pay for obese kids to have surgery. The hope is that after the surgery these children will start eating lettuce and running marathons. On the other hand it is more likely they will have to it again and again. Surely it made more sense for the Government to ban the advertising of junk food to children.

Molly and Isabelle walk every where. In fact when we go in to Kingston people think they might be lost so rare is it to see children walking down the street looking into shop windows. Most kids are strapped in, while their parents rush to where ever they are going and people wonder why children become hyperactive. Young children need mechanical stimulation for their brains to develop properly. TV only provides mechanical stimulation to the eyes.
