Zack och The Greens är fantastiska! Jag önskar att det fanns en svensk motsvarighet, det är tydligt att folk vill ha den politik de står för. Ett öppet mål sas men de svenska rödgröna är inte ens med i matchen.

"Almost ½ of GPs have seen boys & girls up to the age of 7 who have obesity, including a handful younger than a year old. However, 4 out of 5 family doctors find it difficult to talk to children or their parents about the condition, in case such conversations make them feel upset, angry or ashamed."

Almost a quarter of UK GPs are seeing obese children aged four and under

theguardian.comAlmost a quarter of UK GPs are seeing obese children aged four and underExclusive: Almost half of GPs have seen children up to the age of seven who have obesity, research finds Almost a quarter of GPs are seeing children aged four or under who are obese, according to a survey of UK family doctors. The “alarming” research also found that almost half (49%) of GPs have seen boys and girls up to the age of seven who have obesity, including a handful younger than a year old. Almost one in four (23%) said they had seen children aged zero to four in which obesity was a clinical concern. Among the doctors, 81% have seen obesity in those between their first 12 months and the age of 11. Four in five (80%) find it somewhat or very challenging to talk to the parents of an obese child under the age of 16 about their weight and health, with only 10% say that is easy to do. Nearly two thirds (65%) find it hard to talk to obese young people themselves, with just 20% saying that is easy. Continue reading...

Seeing Swedish thought leaders and journalist posting about how this could never happen in Sweden because we have a truly unbiased and representative media and government makes me feel genuinely helpless and alone. How do you convince people to unlearn their delusional optimism?

UNICEF: a child has been killed every day in Gaza by Israel since the start of the 'ceasefire.' “These children are killed from airstrikes, drone strikes, including suicide drones. They’re killed from tank shelling, they’re killed from live ammunition, they’re killed from quadcopters.”

"Nu har det hänt så nu får det aldrig hända igen" är underlaget för många politiska beslut i Sverige. TRE familjer får 40k+ i bidrag så nu stryper vi bidraget för alla. En person överdoserar på Alvedon så då stoppar vi försäljningen av Alvedontabletter i butik. Etc etc.

Nej nej nej, sorry Graham Potter, men Sverige ska ha en svensk äldre man som förbundskapten och han ska klä sig träningsoverall med brallan högt uppdragen. Allt annat som färgglada halsdukar och snygga kostymer leder alltid till fiasko.

Using BMI as sole indicator for overweight is problematic. I have a BMI that would classify me as overweight, which I am not, but had I still lived in UK I’d be one of the 64%.

The way that I was raised, being Jewish meant believing that every human life was sacred; to save a single human life meant saving all of humanity. That no law or ritual was more important than saving a single human life. It's unfathomable that any Jew can accept what Israel is doing in Gaza.

Life for Palestinians in the West bank is hell! And no Hamas there either so the "excuse" is that Israelis want to kill all arabs and won't stop until they've done so. A terrorist state, I hope these evil people never have peace in their hearts.
