No More Convenience Food

   Today more and more people are becoming overweight and suffering from the diseases of affluence: cancer, heart attack and diabetes. Even some young children have been diagnosed with an obesity-linked diabetes or high blood pressure previously only found in adults over 40. It is urgent we work together to combat this long-term epidemic of fat.

We need to give support to farmers who are supplying us with organics. We need to learn how to eat healthily. Above all, we should bring back real school dinners and school canteen should offer a great variety of nutritious food to children and the government should give some financial support to help schools run the school canteens well to guarantee the quality and variety of food.
