UK government’s obesity plan ‘doomed to fail’, MPs warn
October 30, 2026
According to The Guardian, Cross-party committee says ‘moonshot’ vow to end obesity epidemic in a decade will fail without personal leadership from PM. According to The Guardian, more than a year after the promise to “end the obesity epidemic” within a decade was made, even the most basic questions – such as how progress will be measured and how a cross-departmental plan would work – remain unanswered, the MPs said. The Guardian reports that it called for the creation of a dedicated cabinet committee on the obesity plan, chaired by the prime minister, to drive action and “to send a message that this government takes obesity seriously”.
