The Royal
College of Physicians say that depending the area you live in National Health Services
for obese people are patchy and inadequate. More needs to be done to tackle
health problems caused by obesity. Obesity in the UK is now more frequent, more
severe and occurring at younger ages. 25% of UK's adults are obese but
researchers expect 50% of the adults to be obese in 2050. The council of Newham
is implementing a system of compulsory licensing and fines to tackle rogue
landlords who overprice and overcrowd their properties. The councils the first
in England to implement this system.
I believe
that it is a good thing for the Royal College of Physicians to alert the National
Health Services to be more aware of the growing obesity problems in the United
Kingdom. Though I do believe that most of these people need individual
reprimands to get them to lose weight. As a person who is overweight myself I
find that thinking about one's future and health stimulates to lose weight and
become a healthier person. The letting licensing is a good idea, I think,
because it not only stimulates better living circumstances for the letters but
it also stimulates the economy because the letters can spend the money on other
things.

Attention towards this matter is somehow relieving. If this problem would be ignored by the government, there would be caused lots of troubles. These people need help, and it is sad that one part of the society is quick enough to label these people as irresponsible.
