UK government’s obesity plan ‘doomed to fail’, MPs warn

According to The Guardian, a cross-party committee of MPs has warned that the UK government's promise to reverse rising obesity rates within a decade is "doomed to fail" without a major rethink.

The story is marked as developing, and the sources supplied do not contain further details on the government's response or the committee's specific recommendations.
