UK too - the new strategy on tackling childhood obesity already looks like it will fall flat: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/aug/20/will-the-governments-new-childhood-obesity-strategy-have-any-effect as it's coincided with the 'no-body shaming' movement.   However when compared to 'smoking shaming' - that is excluding smokers from social areas, pointing out it smells bad, telling people directly that they are harming their children etc., smoking rates in the UK have more than halved in the past 30 years (51% of smokers to 20%). It will take a 180 degree re-think on tackling obesity before the root cause is addressed, rather than trying to treat the symptoms of these 'poor unfortunates'. We need a proper shit team of politicians to stop tip-toeing around the issue and call them out for the slobs they are and the bad habits they have developed and are inflicting on their kids
