The couch potato life style and a growing appetite for fast food is blamed for our boys and girls weighing in near the top of a 27-country fat league. Mail online has recently reported that British children are among the worst in a Europe-wide obesity league table, with around a third weighing more than they should.
With technology expanding the industry is selling us more television to watch, more computer games and gaming systems to play, and even more dvd's to sit down and watch. Obesity experts blame the couch potato lifestyle as the main culprit for this growing epidemic. With television dinners replacing the traditional family meals and computer games being prefered to outdoor activities, it is no question that doctors are warning that surgery such as stomach stapling will have to be used on children soon to tackle the obesity crisis.
