Once again obesity and childhood obesity are all over the media. Only a few weeks ago Scotland was named as second only to the USA as the most obese nation in the world.
The forthcoming Foresight report is currently being reported in the media as forecasting astonishing levels of obesity that can be expected in the UK if we do not reverse the increasing trend in weight and waist size now!
The Children's Weight Clinic is the first independent dedicated childhood weight management clinic in Scotland. Over the last year we have been raising the importance of a healthy family lifestyle - highlighting the need for simple healthy cooking classes for parents and exercise programmes aimed at children who are already overweight.
There is an urgent need for obesity to be tackled at a national and governmental level as well as at the individual and family level.
