A new report from the Paliamentary House Standing Committee on Health and Ageing has found that better urban design to encourage more active lifestyles, and a greater focus on teaching children the importance of healthy eating and exercise are the keystones to overcoming Australia's obesity problems.
Weighing it up : Obesity in Australia calls for "national urban planning guidelines that encourage bicycle and pedestrian friendly communities and more facilities for physical activity. The committee would also like more support for school and community programs that teach children and adults to grow, prepare and eat fresh fruit and vegetables as an alternative to high fat, high sugar and high salt foods."
