Yet more news on child obesity.
A report on childhood obesity published by the National Assembly for Wales in July said the rates of childhood obesity in Wales are the highest in the UK, with about 35% of children aged under 16 being overweight or obese in 2011.
During one week in July, nearly 170 children aged between 11 and 15 attended sessions in Wales run by a weight-loss club. Public Health Wales figures showed over 28% of five-year-olds are overweight, with 12.5% of children obese.
The National Obesity Forum said healthy eating needs to be taught earlier.
