National Childhood Obesity isn’t proceeding as planned! The Week – which was to have had physical activity as its theme – seems to be hijacked by less that healthy food stories. See below for to-day’s McDonald’s coverage: to-morrow anyone wanting to stuff themselves with chocolates has merely to head in to Central London!
NOF has nothing against chocolates or sweets as treats on special occasions but this shop appears to be is “ in your face “ in more ways than one. Hopefully the store might see to it that there are a few healthy messages lying around the place – but maybe that’s too much to ask. No doubt there will be media coverage! Watch this space........
