Mr Happy said:If we don't have a nation aspiring to be fat then why is the weight of the average person 2 stone heavier now than 30 - 40 years ago?
People are fatter and lazier and porkier. Fact! Diabetes is one consequence...
I didnt say that as a Nation we are not more overweight, what I said was that no one wants (aspires) to be fat that is entirely different. The point I am trying to get across is that most overeating and therefore obesity is a direct result of us as a Nation living today with shed loads more stress than any previous generation. Stress causes overeating that is a FACT you may not believe it but its true and there is lots of studies/evidence to back it up.

Feel free to carry on your argument after you have read the FACTS.
As for the Nation being lazy, that is another myth which was proved when a study was done to show how our young now sit in front of a TV or a games console and dont get any exercise, "kids today dont get any exersice" is the myth being perpetuated by this idiot professor amongst others. Unfortunately the study proved without doubt that out youngsters move around just as much as youngsters have every moved around they simple do it in different ways. I dont have a link to this study but it was a couple of years ago I think and was disgust here on this forum when the results were published so if you doubt my word feel free to search for it, I cant be bothered to defend what I know to be the truth.
So anyone that calls our Nation a land of fat porkers is quite simply rude and ignorant of the facts.
