Doctors in the U.K. are calling for a tax on fizzy drinks and a ban on junk food advertising before the watershed in an effort to reduce the alarming rise of obesity, which is causing serious health problems. Apparently, as a country's wealth increases, their rate of obesity rises along with it. Click here for the video which shows the charts.

Nobody welcomes an obese body. Most want help to slim down to their ideal weight.
I don't like any of this type of food and have never eaten it. Well, when I say never, I lie. At the age of sixteen, I drank a cola product offered by my father during their evening social drinking time. I drank it for over a year and I welcomed the taste and pleasant fizz. I guess the dreaded substance coke was included at the time—the fifties. Later, I developed tooth decay. I've seen a video of a slowly dissolving tooth dangled in the liquid at the end of a piece of string. Not good. I can't remember why I stopped drinking the stuff, but I assume it happened because I left my father's house to return to my mother. A major factor was a lack of funds.
And there we go full cycle. Disposable income contributes to obesity. I may have an expanding stomach but at least I'm healthy.
