"The damning data was collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, which measured the height, weight, hips and waists of 22,000 people for the 2007-08 National Health Survey. "
Nearly two thirds of Australians are classified overweight. Men and older people are using up more space than usual. It's not good and yet that advert, where we see the young man turn into a fatter version of himself as he grows older rings true. You see that advert everywhere...men who looked like they were healthy and fit just getting fat. Is it our food? Our lifestyle? What is it? We used to be pretty healthy. Manufactured food? We need to get to the bottom of this. In spite of this damning news I have seen a lot more people out walking. I think we need to think this through because it may well be our mad working hours, the big mortgages and the financial situation. We need to get facts and then develop a plan. We could all sit here and say it is this and this and this...but we need to work it out so we can do something about it.
