Tell people they are fat, says health minister - Telegraph

Anne Milton said the the term fat was more likely to motivate people into losing weight, adding it was important people took ''personal responsibility'' for their lifestyles.

Stressing she was speaking in a personal capacity, she told the BBC: ''If I look in the mirror and think I am obese I think I am less worried than if I think I am fat.''



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

UK's pet dogs are obese, veterinary charity warns

The PDSA's findings indicate that 35 percent of the dogs surveyed are carrying far too much weight, a figure that has risen 21 percent from four years ago ....

The PDSA report concludes that if the current trend isn't halted, the figure could rise to 50 percent by 2013, damaging quality and duration of life for the nation's pets ....

Overweight pets are less mobile, less willing to play and more likely to develop a number of serious health conditions.
