“…Dr Gavin Sandercock argues there has been a well-meaning but misguided focus on obesity, while the harm caused by inactivity has been overlooked…public health’s continual focus on food and obesity leaves the more harmful effects of inactivity overlooked and ignores the role of physical fitness in health promotion and monitoring…Healthy eating is important, but it is not the answer to obesity…inactivity is a better predictor of ill health than obesity…What is needed is a wide-ranging set of changes to help children be habitually more active, more often.”(more)
