What do you think should be done to tackle obesity in Australia?

Do you like Professor Stewart’s idea of incentives for towns deemed to be overweight? He’s suggesting towns could be awarded with pools and gyms if they collectively shed weight. Or do you find the idea of a “biggest loser” for whole towns patronising?

Is it even up to the government to tacke action? Or is weight an issue that’s clearly in the domain of the individual?

Should more be done at childhood? Are you taking active steps to encourage your child to get outside and run around? Is there a ban on the TV? Do you have a way of limiting your child’s exposure to the all pervasive junk food advertisements?

Should we be working less, so we have more time to do things like prepare healthy food, and factor in regular weekly exercise into busy schedules?

Maybe boycotting processed foods, and of course fast food?

How do you think the government, communities, and individuals - should respond to the news that we’ve become a nation of biggest losers.
