Fat children ‘should be taken into care’

I should rephrase it, I never managed to get my question across properly!;

A board assumption, but I think quite a lots of us nowadays can't cook, and it's easier to simply grab a stomach-filling burger, pizza and the likes.

is there any truth in this statement?

England has never had a tradition of fine food. Especially among the poor working classes.

In fact for the majority of recorded british history, vegetables were considered unpalatable animal fodder.

For the majority of the 20th century, the working classes as a whole didnt have particulary great food.

Lucky kids would have things like a slice of bread & jam for supper, while poorer ones would settle for a sprinkle of sugar.

I think the key is the amount of activity everyone was doing which began to drop off in the 90's I think.

And then mega supermarkets & mcdonalds closed in on everywhere.
