Parents 'killing obese children with kindness', says Government

Parents will be accused by the UK Government of "killing their children with kindness" in a new anti-obesity campaign, it has been reported. It is thought publicity will appear around the country featuring children declaring themselves doomed to die of heart disease or diabetes, and blaming the actions of their parents. The campaign is said be based on on an unpublished report by the Department of Health that has been sent to senior NHS managers. According to The Observer, the report says three million young families must be better informed about nutrition to prevent their children becoming obese. It reportedly features a photograph of three young children with the caption: "One of us will die of heart disease or diabetes when we're older because of the foods our parents let us eat now." - Telegraph
