    Scots children are the fattest in the world

    From The Times: A third of Scottish 12-year-olds are overweight and a fifth are obese according to new statistics



    The Government research, published by the Information Statistics Division (ISD), revealed that Scots school children are now more likely to be obese than even their beef burger munching peers in the United States.

    A third of Scots school children are overweight and one in five is obese by the time they reach the age of 12, compared to one-in-six in the United States and one-in-20 across Britain as a whole.

    The Scottish Executive claims to have invested record levels in improving health.
    Really? About as successful as the rest of New Labour's "investments" then!

                  Scottish kids soon burn the weight off when they get a smack habit in their mid-teens.
