This is a far higher proportion than in the other countries of Western Europe.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Interesting statistics. I live in Cyprus now and when I return to the UK I am suprised at the temptation offered in the supermarkets. The fruit and veg is dear and the chocs/junk food are cheap. It is the other way around over here. I lost weight when I arrived due to the fact chocolate is expensive. However, the expat community introduced UK shops with goodies much cheaper. So the temptation crept back in, and because I am not longer in an active job I gained again. Hence the weight loss plan. I wonder if the UK were to make the fresh foods slightly more affordable and the treats more expensive whether that would help. It was like that when I was younger, we only had treats now and then. I am 54 not ancient by any means, but the shops certainly have filled up with unhealthy, affordable goodies over the years.

I agree with Nissi! You go in a supermarket- 3 for 2, bogof deals, money off- all seem to be on the fatty stuff like sweets and biscuits. Fruit and veg is so expensive in comparison! I know when I struggle financially my diet struggles to, as I live alone everything I buy I eat myself so what good is spending a lot on something that will go out of date soon? So I spend the same money on something like choc or cereal which will last longer than broccoli!

I lived in central Paris for a year and it is rare to see bigger people there.

How on earth do they get these figures?

**Happy Holidays** · 31st January, 2012

I've no idea, probably one of those Mori polls. Otherwise it could be the medical proffession & they can't give that info out without permission.
