Obesity in children tripled between 1990 and 2002 in England, according to a government study Friday.
"Junk food, low exercise levels and the popularity of computer games and television have raised obesity rates in developed countries to endemic proportions, experts say.
By 2002, 15.5 percent of 2 to 11-years-olds in England were considered obese, up from 5 percent in 1990, the Department of Health said."
"Obesity levels in England are moving more toward those of the United States than Europe," she said."

I believe in your smile everyday
But I know that you're far from my way
When I talk to the moon I can hear you
In the dark I can see, I can feel your light
But I know that you're far from my way
When I talk to the moon I can hear you
In the dark I can see, I can feel your light

Jamie Oliver's campaign to wake British people up to the disgusting processed food their kids are being fed in our schools deserves all the publicity it can get, and all the kudos. I watched the three-part programme with a growing sense of horror and disbelief at the reality of what many British kids eat, then a feeling of wonderment to see how Jamie's persistence over a year in one London borough actually made a huge difference to the kids' diet and general health. Hearing parents talk in amazement at the change in their offspring's behaviour once the junk food had been banished was truly heartwarming.
