In Wales 26% of the population under the age of 18 is obese. This is 2% more than England and even 8% more than in America, yet the British government continue to tell us that childhood obesity in Wales is not a problem. The statistics are shocking, even more so when you realise that the habits picked up as children can affect you in later life. We know something needs to be done about this issue, but what? The government is not doing anything that is bringing these ridiculous statistics down so we must take matters into our own hands.
See our What We Do page to see how we are raising awareness for childhood obesity in Wales and doing something to stop it.
Credit to childhoodobesitywales for the statistics.
So glad someone is finally taking action to resolve this issue when the government CLEARLY don't care enough about our poor children to help them!
