Why are Brits the fattest in Western Europe?
by Sue Quinn
The urgency of tackling obesity has been brought to the fore by evidence of a link to an increased risk from Covid-19. The UK is one of the heaviest nations. Itâs estimated 64 percent of British adults are now overweight, having a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or more. This includes around 28 percent who are obese (with a BMI of 30 or more), double the percentage figure in 1990, when obesity affected just 14 percent of British adults. More than 10 percent of obese people in the UK have a BMI of 35 or more.

GROTON, CT A North Stonington man is being held on $250,000 bond after being charged by Groton Town police with the robbery of a Henny Penny convenience store last month.
Corby P. Stedman, 26, turned himself in on a warrant Wednesday and was charged with first-degree robbery, police said.
According to Groton Town Police Department Deputy Police Chief Paul Gately, just after midnight on Jan. 23, patrol officers were called to the convenience store at 1270 Gold Star Highway for a reported robbery. Gately said a person went into the store, reportedly with a gun, and demanded the cash register be opened by the store clerk. He then left with cash, the amount not provided, and took off in a car before police got there.
