Nanny Steals Fat Children From Parents

 

It would seem that allowing your children to become fat, is now deemed to be child abuse by Nanny.

The Argus reports that two teenage children from Sussex have been taken from the care of their parents after council social services staff told a family court judge of concerns about their weight.

Judge Gillian Ellis ruled the youngsters should go into long-term foster care - and described the case as "very sad and unusual".

West Sussex County Council has responsibility for the children's welfare and previously provided Fitbits and paid for gym memberships for the pair.

The family has also been involved with Weight Watchers.

But Judge Ellis said that, months after family court proceedings began, there had been no reduction in the children's weight.

The judge said the children's parents had not seemed to understand "the seriousness" of concerns raised by social services staff and had failed to "set boundaries" or "promote healthy eating and exercise".

She said the children needed the chance to "learn ways of living more healthily" and to "improve their health by losing weight".

Detail of the case emerged in a ruling by Judge Ellis published online on Wednesday.

The judge had considered evidence at a private family court hearing in Sussex late in 2020.

She said the family could not be identified in media reports of the case.

Judge Ellis said West Sussex County Council was the local authority involved.

The judge said there were also concerns about poor home conditions and a lack of guidance on personal care.

"Everyone agrees that this is a very sad and unusual case, of a loving family, where the parents meet many of the basic needs of the children, but the local authority has been concerned that the parents are not meeting the children's health needs, in that both children are severely overweight, and the parents have shown an inability to help the children manage this condition.

The case was such an unusual one because the children had clearly had some very good parenting, as they were polite, bright, and engaging." 

The parents did not seem to understand the seriousness of the local authority concerns.

They failed to set boundaries for the children, or to promote healthy eating and exercise."

The children had failed to engage consistently in exercise despite the local authority providing Fitbits and paying for gym memberships.

The children were supposed to provide recordings from their Fitbits but this had not been done.

The mother blamed lockdown for the inability to exercise but exercise could still be taken in the home or by walking outside.

The attendance of the family at Weight Watchers had been inconsistent." 

This doesn't seem to right to me at all!

This will achieve what exactly?

Walking is free, and less dangerous than biking on a busy road, can those that Nanny classify as "fat" simply be prescribed a walk in the park?

Nanny Bans Sweets at Checkouts

Nanny is to unveil a sweeping ban on shops offering unhealthy snacks and sweets at checkouts in a bid to clamp down on soaring obesity rates and poor dental health.

The Mail on Sunday understands that health officials plan to roll out the restriction in the coming weeks despite most major supermarkets already removing products voluntarily.

The move is part of Nanny’s plan to halve childhood obesity in England by 2030. 

However, most major supermarkets such as Tesco and Waitrose have already banned sweets and chocolate from being stocked near tills. Therefore I would have to question what is the point of legislating after the horse has voluntarily gone into the stable?

I would also note that moving sweets from one end of the shop to another will not make the slightest difference to the levels of obesity (real or imagined) in Britain!

Nanny's Calorie Cap

It seems that Nanny is now abandoning any pretence that we have a right to choose what and how much we eat, as she proposes to introduce a mandatory calorie cap on food.

The fascists in Public Health England insist that pizzas must shrink or lose their toppings, and pies, ready meals and sandwiches will also be subject to the new proposed calorie limits.


Under the draft proposals, a standard pizza for one should contain no more than 928 calories - far less than many sold by takeaways, restaurants and shops.  And the recommendations suggest that a savoury pie should contain no more than 695 calories.

Public Health England (PHE) said “drastic” measures were needed to combat Britain’s obesity crisis.

Dr Alison Tedstone, PHE chief nutritionist, told the Telegraph:

“It could mean less meat on a pizza, it could mean less cheese, it could mean a smaller size. Consumers are saying they want smaller portions and healthier options.

We know that just having healthy options on the menu won’t change the nation’s habits - we need the default option to have fewer calories. The default options for pizzas are margherita and pepperoni pizzas, so we need them to get healthier.”

Here's why this is bollocks:

1 It's not the state's business how much shit we eat or drink, we are all going to die one way or another; let us choose the manner of our death!

2  Consumers have the right to choose the size of pizza, pie etc and then (if they are full) leave some of it for a doggy bag.

3 Restaurants and takeaways will simply flout this nonsense by offering two "government regulation mini" pizzas for the price of one.

All in all this is a disgrace, Nanny should "go away"!

Calorie Counts On Menus - Nanny Can Fark Off!

Nanny is to decree that calorie counts will have to be displayed on the menus of all restaurants, cafes and fast-food outlets.

The Department of Health will within days unveil plans to display the number of calories in every meal to enable people to make "informed and healthy choices for themselves and their family".

This is a farking waste of time and money.

The Treasury thinks it is bollocks as well!

It has warned the plans to tackle obesity are likely "burdensome" for 26,000 small businesses and could force them to raise food prices and cut jobs.

Tell me, is this really a Conservative government??

Prat of The Week - James Cracknell

Somewhat belatedly I would like to award James Cracknell my Prat of The Week Award.

Who is James Cracknell?

Apparently he is an athlete turned anti-obesity campaigner.

For why does he deserve the award?

According to The Spectator, Cracknell said in April that North Korea and Cuba had got a ‘handle on obesity’ (ie their hapless citizens - with a few notable exceptions - aren't fat).

Cracknell, by all accounts thinks that is splendid, and is all for Nanny adopting those countries' methods and techniques which he attributed to both countries being ‘quite controlling on behavioural trends’.

There you have it folks, Nanny's chums want Nanny to impose dietary dictatorship.

James Cracknell, well deserving Prat of The Week!

You Are What You Eat

According to a recent study by the LSE traditional meals recommended by parents are now simply too much for a less-active generation.

Errmm, small point here, previous generations ate home cooked meals consisting of meat, spuds and veg. It would seem that many in the modern world now eat pre cooked, fast food, high sugar/fat shite. In other words, people are not eating the same type of food as was eaten by their parents.

Could that be a factor in the porkiness epidemic??

Nanny's 30 Second Obesity Intervention

The Guardian reports the following about a 30 second obesity intervention:

"GPs who raise the issue of their patients’ obesity in the surgery will not offend them and are likely to help them reach a healthy weight, a new study has shown.

Doctors are notoriously nervous of telling people they are overweight and worry that initiating any discussion will lead to a long, fruitless conversation about failed diets and eating habits that will go on long beyond a 10-minute consultation.

But a trial of a 30-second intervention in which the GP suggests the patient’s weight may be affecting their health and offers them a place on a weigh-loss programme reveals advice can make a major difference, according to research published in the Lancet medical journal.

More than 130 GPs who took part in the trial, involving more than 1,800 patients, were asked to start a conversation that might go like this:

GP: While you’re here, I just wanted to talk about your weight. You know the best way to lose weight is to go to [a weigh-management programme such as Slimming World or Rosemary Conley] and that’s available free on the NHS?
Patient: Oh?
GP: Yes, and I can refer you now if you are willing to give that a try?

The patients were randomly assigned to be offered either an NHS-funded place on a 12-week weight-management programme or advice to lose weight. The researchers found that 77% of those offered a weight-management programme said yes, and 40% went to all the sessions. At the end of a year, those people had lost 2.43kg (0.38 stone) on average, while those given advice by the GP had also lost weight, but less, at an average of 1.04kg."

I wouldn't be offended either, if my doctor (who I visit once every 16 years or so, ie when I am very ill or when I need a medical) suggested that I needed to deal with my weight.

However, nothing on the planet would force me into a "programme". You lose weight by cutting calories and exercising more, I don't need to state to monitor my activity level or calorie intake!

Firefighters Used To Lift The Obese

It is a very sad indictment of the way that we live our lives that firefighting resources are being called out more often to assist in lifting obese people.

The number of obese people being rescued by firefighters has increased by more than a third in the past three years.

The Telegraph reports that rescuers often have to use lifting equipment and special slings because people are too large to move independently, while windows, walls and interior fittings sometimes have to be removed to create enough space for obese people to be extracted.

In the past year, there were 944 rescues involving obese patients, compared to 709 in the period from 2012 to 2013, according to figures obtained by the BBC.

Ironically The National Obesity Forum said the increase in the figures was due to the fact that obese people are getting bigger, rather than there being more people who are obese.

This in itself rather calls into question the effectiveness of Nanny's continual nagging about how much/what we eat and our weight!

Eat More Fat

As loyal readers know, Nanny's health advice wrt many things is being disproved on a daily basis.

Hot on the heels of the debacle over her advice about eating less fat, Lord McColl (emeritus professor of surgery at Guys Hospital in London) has weighed in (see the pun there?) and said that low fat diets and exercise are pointless for those wanting to lose weight and obese people should simply eat less.

Lord McColl warned that current health advice to avoid fat was ‘false and misleading’ and was fuelling the obesity epidemic. He noted that exercising was useless against the huge levels of calories from carbohydrates and sugars that people are now consuming.

Quoted by the Telegraph he laid into our chums from Nice:

“In the UK the Department of Health and Nice (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) maintains for many years that the obesity epidemic was due to lack of exercise.

It’s a pity that the 500 people employed by Nice didn’t think to go into the gymnasium get on a machine and exercise to see how few calories you actually burn off.

One can pedal away on one of those machines for half an hour and only two or three hundred calories are burned up. One has to run miles to take a pound of fat off.

The whole subject has been bedevilled by all sorts of theories about the course of the obesity; genetics, epigenetic, psychological disturbances. None of them is the cause of the obesity epidemic.

One fact remains. It is impossible to be obese unless one is eating too many calories.”

He noted that eating fat was important because it kept people feeling fuller for longer, and advised overweight people to start adding fat into their diet.

“Fat enters the small intestine and greatly delays the emptying of the stomach.

As the stomach emptying is delayed it gives the feeling that one has had enough to eat. Later when the fat has been absorbed the stomach then starts to empty again, It’s a beautifully balance mechanism which tends to prevent us from eating too much and prevents us from getting obese.”

There you go, what have I been telling you for years on this site?

It is also worth noting that low fat foods are not low calorie.

For why?

The manufacturers add sugar, in order to make up for the lack of flavour caused by removing the fat.

In other words those people who buy low fat foods, in the belief that they will help them lose weight, are being conned by both Nanny and the manufacturers!

Time for a class action!

"Fat" People Live Longer

Who would have thought it?

Another Nanny myth has just been turned on its head.

This time it transpires, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, millions of Britons classed as overweight actually have a lower risk of death than those who are slimmer and deemed to be the most healthy.

In fact, the definition of "overweight" may need to change as the research has shown that the "healthiest" size has increased by 3.3 BMI points since the 1970's.

Loyal readers of course know what I think of the BMI as means of determining if someone is "overweight" or not. Time and time again it has been proven to be absolute bollocks. A far better means is simply to measure your waist, and compare that to the rest of your body.

Anyhoo, currently people who have a BMI of 27 are classed as "overweight" yet they now have the lowest risk of dying from any condition. Wise owls of course will be aware that we all die one day!

Thus, as ever, apply some common sense and abandon the concept of one size fits all. Additionally, ignore all the advice that Nanny gives you!
