Yup. And the other side has put out "A quarter of a million 11-year-olds overweight - including almost half of the poorest kids" at the same time ! Hah.
I don't know what you mean with your comment, so I want to add here for clarity that obesity is nowadays a strong sign of bad quality food, which incidentally is also the cheapest food. Or in simpler words, the bigger you are the chances there are you got there by eating junk food. Are they starving? No obviously not. Are they healthy? Also obviously not. This means an increased burden on the health system and at least some inconvenience on everything else - starting from bigger seats in the buses. And no I don't accept that my society lets them suffer and die - I'll be adding this before somebody starts suggesting things like "their fault".
There were rumours they would remove the 2 child cap on child benefit
If only they'd encourage working people to have kids (via tax breaks etc) rather than out-of-work people to have more.
That wouldn't be Labour.
That became more than just rumours yesterday but we shall see. I'd say it's very very likely personally
By raising taxes to everybody else

It's not the food, it's the exercise.
Kids don't play outside and ride bikes for miles like the used too. They just stare at screens.
