Next week voters go the polls for the Scottish elections and for the first
time they are being urged to factor Scotlands obesity crisis into the
choices they make.
.
Obesity Action Scotland is challenging parliamentary candidates to sign up
to five key measures as part of a campaign called Scotland Cant Stomach It
Any Longer. The aim is to ensure the next Scottish Parliament is firmly
committed to reducing the damage being done by growing obesity levels.
.
Figures show 65 per cent of Scottish adults are overweight, including 28
per cent who are obese. In other words, two in every three people who can
vote next week are heavier than they should be.
.
Although the rise in numbers has slowed, the problem here is significantly
worse than elsewhere, and Scotland is only second to Hungary on adult
obesity levels.
.
While poor diet and lack of exercise are key factors, Obesity Action
Scotland says the problem is too complex to expect it to be solved by
individual behavioural changes. Thats where the politicians come in.
.
Established last summer to provide clinical leadership on our weight
problem, Obesity Action Scotland believes a few actions could make a big
difference. As well as supporting cuts in fat and sugar and actions to
encourage healthy weight levels, they want politicians to look at what
difference price and regulation could make to the Scottish diet as well as
reinvesting revenue from the sugar tax into measures to discourage
childhood obesity. They also believe the public sector should lead by
example.
