    Re: 27% of British Children now obese.

    Umm, its 27% of British children now "overweight". The article does not quote the obesity rate - the title does contain the word obesity though. I wonder if the author doesn't know the difference between being obese and being overweight? The older I get, the less I trust the media to get the facts straight.
