British Government Fights Obesity With Healthy Funds

Nine areas across the UK have been designated as "Healthy Towns" by the British Government and will share 31 million euros to fund schemes to fight obesity over the next three years.

The nine town or cities are some of the worst affected by the problems of obesity, something which has alarmed the British government.

It says action must be taken now to turn people's lifestyles around, or on current trends, nearly 60 per cent of the country's population will be obese by 2050. Portsmouth, a city on the south coast, is one of the nine to receive the additional monies.
