Inactivity and over-consumption of processed foods are being blamed for an obesity crisis in Scotland. According to today’s Sunday Post, ambulances designed to carry people weighing up to 70 stone are proving inadequate for some NHS customers, who need the fire brigade to move them.
Clearly, the Scottish government is not helping by allowing people to lounge around instead of having to get active by working for a living. And as for their claims of Tory austerity, there can’t be a shortage of cash if people have enough money to gorge themselves on cakes and biscuits and ready meals.
Maybe a little real austerity would rekindle an enthusiasm for going out shopping to buy real food and getting a bit more exercise in the kitchen from preparing and cooking it.
