    A push for New Zealand to follow England's lead in combating obesity rates

    A push for New Zealand to follow England's lead in combating obesity rates


    NHS figures suggest England's turned the tide on rising obesity rates for the first time in two decades.

    Obesity rates in adults have remained stable for the past five years.

    Auckland University nutrition expert, Boyd Swinburn says rates will keep going up in New Zealand, until something changes.

    He says we've been told by WHO and panels across the world on what to implement - but the country hasn't listened.
