00:00:06.950 --> 00:00:10.285
-Childhood obesity is caused
by a number of things.

00:00:10.285 --> 00:00:11.490
-It's the parent's fault.

00:00:11.490 --> 00:00:12.156
-The government.

00:00:12.156 --> 00:00:14.280
-I think it's generally
the kid's fault.

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:15.450
-Advertising.

00:00:15.450 --> 00:00:18.090
-Parents are responsible
for their children's eating.

00:00:18.090 --> 00:00:18.940
-Schools.

00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:21.710
-They're the ones that put
the food on the kid's plate.

00:00:21.710 --> 00:00:23.710
-I think it's a combination
of all those things.

00:00:27.890 --> 00:00:29.610
-It's up to them
what their kids eat.

00:00:29.610 --> 00:00:32.150
-I think parents have a
certain responsibility

00:00:32.150 --> 00:00:33.060
to their children.

00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:35.000
-I think it's the
whole system, honestly,

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.190
because even if the parents
give you a good education, on TV

00:00:39.190 --> 00:00:41.740
what they see and when they're
outside, they have money

00:00:41.740 --> 00:00:43.750
and they can buy so many things.

00:00:43.750 --> 00:00:46.360
-Schools have a certain
responsibility to the pupils.

00:00:46.360 --> 00:00:49.340
-They are not conscious about
what's healthy and what's not.

00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:50.715
It's just about
what's delicious.

00:00:53.510 --> 00:00:54.998


00:00:54.998 --> 00:00:57.670
-But I do believe
that parents either

00:00:57.670 --> 00:01:01.200
need to find out what a
healthy, balanced diet is.

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.019
-In certain families, maybe
it's kind of class issue,

00:01:04.019 --> 00:01:06.720
that certain
families don't think

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:09.360
about eating healthily, because
it's expensive to do that.

00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:12.470
-Or the government needs
to promote healthy eating

00:01:12.470 --> 00:01:13.997
a lot more than it does.

00:01:13.997 --> 00:01:15.830
-The government has a
certain responsibility

00:01:15.830 --> 00:01:19.740
to inform schools and
parents and individuals

00:01:19.740 --> 00:01:21.230
in general how to eat properly.

00:01:21.230 --> 00:01:23.694
-You could argue that the fact
that successive governments

00:01:23.694 --> 00:01:25.860
have actually sold off all
the playing fields of all

00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:29.800
the schools has done more to
contribute to childhood weight

00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:31.430
problems than anything else.

00:01:31.430 --> 00:01:34.050
Because children are just not
getting the levels of activity.

00:01:34.050 --> 00:01:36.470
-I was not sporty whatsoever.

00:01:36.470 --> 00:01:38.240
Very, very limited activity.

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:40.570
My favourite activities were
sitting watching the telly

00:01:40.570 --> 00:01:42.765
or playing on the
PlayStation, for instance.

00:01:42.765 --> 00:01:44.390
-At the end of the
day, probably what's

00:01:44.390 --> 00:01:47.550
more important than
apportioning blame,

00:01:47.550 --> 00:01:50.335
is actually to see how we're
going to resolve the situation.

00:01:50.335 --> 00:01:52.400
And the only person that
can do anything about it

00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.065
is young people
and their families

00:01:54.065 --> 00:01:55.440
actually to go
out there and deal

00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:56.606
with the problem themselves.
