Is this the Obesity Olympics?

So today sees the start of the London 2012 Olympics but with core sponsors including a fast food outlet, fizzy sugar water manufacturer and a chocolatier, concern has been raised on the message this sends out about obesity.

The UK Government hopes that the London 2012 Olympics will encourage people in UK to take more exercise to combat the obesity epidemic. But at the same time, this fast food company is encouraging everyone to eat more of its products.

The next few weeks will be a proud occasion for Britain and world athletes but only time will tell if the message about exercise and healthy eating has hit home.

In the meantime, let the games begin....
