Campbell Gunn: Scotland in the grip of obesity pandemic

by Campbell Gunn © PA Thank you for signing up to The Press and Journal newsletter. Something went wrong - please try again later. Sign Up I was watching a television news item on Covid last week, which highlighted a man in his 30s who’d been hospitalised by the virus. It was designed to illustrate that the pandemic can hit young people, too. However, what the item studiously avoided mentioning was the fact that the patient was grossly overweight. A serious omission, surely. When I was queueing to have my Covid vaccine last week, the majority of people waiting with me were overweight or obese. It seems to me that obesity is being increasingly normalised, which in turn makes it socially acceptable.
