Interesting news from the UK this morning concerning measures to tackle obesity, following last week’s report that obese people are at much higher risk of death if they contract Covid-19. As someone who only in the past ten years has got their body weight consistently under control at a sensible level, I am encouraged by any initiative at a Government level, which might start to address this problem.
I decided to try the BBC’s online tool to compare my weight with others, and was relieved to find I’m “normal” but horrified to see that almost 80% of people my age are either overweight or obese.
