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 committee says a new plan led directly by the prime minister is needed. The 'moonshot' vow to end the obesity epidemic in a decade would fail without personal leadership from the PM, according to the report. 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. The Guardian's World, UK and Health sections all carried the same report, and no other outlets were supplied for comparison. Summary from 3 sources
