Surrounded by food, keeping a lid on how much and what we eat is much harder than we d like to admit

UK Health Minister Helen Whately talking in July 2020 about her government s New Obesity Strategy to encourage healthy eating and exercise in England to tackle the Covid-19 coronavirus. . During the election campaign, National leader Judith Collins was widely criticised for saying people needed to take “personal responsibility” for their weight, and that obesity was “generally” a weakness. But in a society where so many people are well above what is considered to be a healthy weight, if those doing the eating aren’t responsible, then who or what is?
