BBC News doing a good little snippet on the state of the health of the nation contributing to our death rate.

A GP from Fleetwood said “this is decade after decade of ignoring public health warnings, with obesity being a far larger problem than it should be”.

It’s not just being fat, but also not ingesting the right or enough nutrients to live healthily. And I’ve found that it’s cheaper to eat a healthy diet than it is an unhealthy one.

I’ve been saying throughout this that we need a health revolution after Covid has passed. I hope it happens!

Me and the girlfriend have been saying this for years!! It should start in the school so kids know even if their parents are either too stupid to care or not up to the task.

I've always been a big believer in schools having a fitness / cooking lesson where they learn all about healthy food, recipes.

Can't rely on parents for a number of reasons.

Reported that only 25 have died in NZ of Covid. I just wonder any New Zealanders can count beyond 25.

I would imagine most New Zealanders wouldn’t want to trade places with anyone here. Top ten consistently for one of the healthiest, wealthiest (pro rata) countries in the world with a truly fantastic political leader. All things considered, it wouldn’t be a country I’d be too hasty to throw disparaging comments towards.

When i was at school we had numerous sports and pe lessons , swimming pool and we had home economics classes , i dont know why all that lot stopped , i do remember the schools fields being sold to grammer schools , that was the beginning of the end i suppose

Im lost for words at this video. These people need dealing with properly

Fucking Nora.

It’s just staggering the level of stupidity of some people.

Feel sorry for the doctors, and I know they have to help the sick, but if I was them I’d open the doors for them and let them leave and die.

Why are we reliant on a handful of manufacturing plants?

big business im affraid concentrate manufacturing and reduce costs. Sounds like the EU have made a mess of the vaccine roll out from the start. Now they somehow expect to get their hands on orders placed by the UK with threats. Its frankly rather pathetic.

They create the news by pushing shite and conflict rather than report what's actually happening.

I saw something overnight in BBC news channel with a BBC reporter interviewing a woman Trump supporter in the street. She asked if they were CNN she was obviously thick as fuck but when he said BBC she said oh right, gave him a 'wanker' look and just walked off.

There was a day in the past when no matter what side people were on they all respected the BBC. Now even dicks think they're shite.

they may just have not known what the BBC was!

Makes sense. I also remember reports from Italy last February/March saying that a lot of their most ill and dying patients had Vitamin D and Potassium deficiencies.
