The number of fat children has hit record levels over the last decade. By the age of 11, a third of children are overweight and a fifth of boys are classified as obese - so fat it`s a danger to their health. Their weight problems begin to spiral out of control at around the age of nine, fuelled by poor diet & couch potato lifestyle with the `electronic babysitters` of TV and computers.

The problem appears to have exploded during the nineties. Researchers blame lack of physical activity in schools & at home- with parents` fears over safety curtailing opportunities for play and even for walking to school.

Children are not burning off the caleries they used to. Just 15 per cent of boys cycle to school, and barely any girls. In sports, the rot set in with `trendy` 1970`s theories of traditional team sports being `elitist`. Pupils in thousands of schools were instead taught `non-competitive` games without winners and losers. At the same time chips became a staple ingredient on school menus. Head teachers have complained that the national curriculum and daily literacy and numeracy lessons have squeezed the amount of time for sport. The curriculum states only that two hours of PE per week is an `aspiration`.

Obesity is one of the fastest-growing public health problems in the UK. From an early age children are now storing up problems, putting them at greater risk of adult diseases such as diabetes in their teens. It also makes them more likely to fall victim to heart disease and premature death.
