European Response to Obesity

04/13/2010

Because learning always involves feelings, we must protect the right of all children to have a hallelujah kind of childhood.
Bev Bos, Teacher, 1934-2016

"Globesity" was the lead story in Newsweek (March 22, 2010), referring to recent statistics that over 1 billion adults worldwide are obese or overweight. Among the multitude of solutions proposed was to adopt a more European approach...

"Sweden and Norway forbid advertising of any kind to children under 12 on commercial TV shows. The French removed more than 22,000 food and drink vending machines from schools and replaced them with water fountains. Denmark banned transfatty acids in 2003 and plans a tax on saturated fat this year."
