Obesity Epidemic Is 'Mass Child Neglect'
One in three youngsters leaving primary education is obese and a national plan to tackle the problem is absent, a study says.

No signs of sedentary lifestyles, here at the S school in Oxford. Motivation, choice in sport and fun are all part of a formula to stay off the threat ofthe expanding waist lines of children in the UK.
Since I came to this school, I've been doing a lot more, so I think I need to keep up with you.
It depends if you enjoy sports, cause I particularly enjoy sports, so I do go outside and play around,do things like that.
We do recognize this that not all, every child likes football or hockey for example and other ones do prefer to stay at home and play on their computers.

But it turns in general here it's not really much of a problem, they are quite motivated to get involved.
Experts in the British Journalist Sports Medicine believe the nation-wide picture is very different from this one. They criticize the lack of a proper national policy to get youngsters more active and say the situation is tantamout to mass child neglect, believing the leadership and strategy on the issue are totally absent.
The Journals figures suggest that only a third of boys and a quarter of girls in England meet the minimum recommended daily physical activity levels. And one in three children leaving primary education is obese, most of whom will become obese adults.
We believe that certainly the current situation as it stands in this country is certainly meeting the government's own definition of child neglect.
The report continues its criticism about the government promises to protect school's playing fields which it says are still being sold off. And the author has pointed out the TGB came third in the medals table at the 2012 Olympics, but the UK also took gold and silver in the European obesity lead tables last

year. It cause the future governments and educational bodies to create a comprehensive child-centered national physical activity policy to give children from all backgrounds and sporting abilities, every opportunity to be active on a daily basis.
