Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr_Pot" data-source="post: 1889977" data-attributes="member: 216415"><p>There is a problem with the NHS intervening  before overweight becomes a clinical problem and that is that they would be accused of interfering in peoples lives, being the Nanny State, fat shaming etc. After all there are campaigns for Plus Size Models, Big is Beautiful etc. So what are they to do? How many people go to the GP for a routine check, hear that their BMI shows overweight and actually do anything about it? If the Eatwell Plate was modified to reduce the carbohydrate fraction, would it make any difference to the general population who don't look at it until their weight has become a problem, if at all. I don't know what the solution is but if we are going to complain that the government or the NHS are not doing the right thing we need to decide what the right thing is first.</p></blockquote><p></p>
