Children and obesity

Such a shame that while many children (18%) in the UK aged 5-19 were categorised as overweight or  obese --a big jump since 1975 when it was just 4%.

Also people appear to accept that children are a bit bigger and heavier and accept it as the norm.

Unfortunately 22% of girls aged 11-18 and 11% of boys years are not getting enough calcium at a critical time when they are growing.

There seems a big gap between boys and girls

Calcium is needed for bone health so items like cheese, milk and yogurt are really useful in providing this important mineral
