The statistics on obesity rising in the UK have been out there for a long while. Oliver's solution on banning adverts marketing junk food I don't think will be that consequential since it leads the presumption people are being tricked into eating unhealthy products. That's infantalising adults as if they are children. There are loads of deeper issues why people do it and lets not sit on our high horse and act like we don't do it either. Some of the fittest guys I know eat rubbish but they are exercise freaks to go with it. Some people say alcoholism is the big issue and they point to the proliferation of advertising and beer culture. But is Britain substantially more of an alcoholic nation now than it was in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s? There's less stigma but the idea that in the old days everyone led cleaner lives and had better mental health isn't fair to say. In the old days a housewife may not have brought in an income but the physical duties they carried out without the technological advancements that we take for granted was extremely tiring hard work. I'm sure many of them drank heavily but their duties was substabtial exercise too.
True although I’m sure it’s just as confusing in Italian.
