Unhealthy food choices clearly impacts negatively on peoples health but let's not under-estimate the role that exercise also plays. 'Lack of activity' has been found to be a major cause of obesity and related health problems. If we want the Guernsey population to be fit and healthy and thereby reduce the cost implications of an obese community, then we have to do much more to encourage everyone to choose to walk or cycle their journeys when they can. It is the simplest way to incorporate more activity into busy daily timetables. We are going to have to address the Guernsey addiction to cars to make the roads less busy and therefore more pleasant to walk and cycle on. I suspect that there will be lots of tantrums along the way, but if we want to address this problem, we are going to have to stop burying our heads in the sand about the overly car-dependent community that we have become.
