To be fair to Diabetes UK they actually funded much of the Newcastle research.
Unlike big pharm they were not seeking a billion dollar pill regime.

Even the NHS can't get the fundamentals right.
Eating fruit and carbohydrates rich food like pasta, rice. Certain vegetables are also quite high in carbs so best avoided for leafy green vegetables
reducing fat is not the the correct advice for those in diabetes or pre diabetic.
Low carbs, high fat diet is the recommended diet plan.
That means reducing fruit (fructose) and high carbohydrate food like rice pasta, root vegetables etc
Eat more high fat dairy, cheese, full fat milk, natural yoghurt. Have fatty meats, and brown fish.
Supercharge the diet benefits by extending the fasted period(intermittent )allowing the blood glucose level to drop in the fasted period.
Exercise to use up the excess glucose in the blood stream and increase metabolism helping keep spikes of glucose to a minimum.

Yep, I wouldn't go full on Atkins stylee but cutting down on Bread and Spuds is healthier, I eat mainly Wholegrain Rice anyway.

I don't think they called it that in 1973
Indeed. Prior to decimalisation it was called "a bit out of shape."

Indeed, when I was at School in the 60/70's there were 2 or 3 'Bunters' as we called them, nowadays they wouldn't even register amongst the throng.

Must have been about 1973 when the Donor Kebab arrived big in the UK.
Those 'student' salad Pittas at the time were extremely healthy.

Talking of overweight or obese. Back when JFK was President, the percentage of population that was obese was around 15% now USA has around 45-50% Obese.
There was a program for school kids before and during JFK term which promoted high levels of physical fitness.
How many kids today could complete the basic exercise moves in JFK project-not many I reckon

There's a theme for a study " The impact of foreign food on the health of the indigenous population of the UK"

That was only so he could send them to Vietnam.
That may be so.
Imagine though if these types of fitness programs were promoted from an early age throughout schooling into early adulthood, far less health problems there would be, less costs economically to the state.
Physical fitness is looked at as a dirty word in schools, has been for decades.
My father was diagnosed with T2D in his early 50’s he lived his whole life eating far too much saturated fat, sugar and salt and was about 4 stone over weight. He died last year at the age of 88. We couldn’t believe he lived that long.

More to do with marketing. In the US, market rules the roost in all walks of life, not that anyone dares walk there.
