soma can you really only have chicken and chips, chicken and ribs.ng for healthy options for young people, it is a huge step forward , young people, it is a huge step forward, but part of a wider issue. i want to change the narrative from it being, "oh, it's a person's fault, it's their family's fault," when it's actually recognising that the environment that young people are growing up in — the environment that children are growing up in — is completely different to, like, 20, 30, a0 years ago. latest figures show there were 870,000 hospital admissions related to obesity in england in one year and one in five children in their final year of primary skill are classified as obese. some say the measures don't go far enough, while others have called them a slap in the face. it seems to me it would have been a great opportunity to have been a great opportunity to have a very positive campaign focused on physical activity and positive nutrition, and what we have got i nstea d positive nutrition, and what we have got instead is some reheated proposals from
