I am off to go to Home Bargains to buy some popcorn to read YesCymru's upcoming opinion(s) on all.
The previous track record shows two obvious options…..No1: “No comment” and ignore it completely, because it’ll go away..... No2: Blame: Westminster, London, England, the U.K.
Who is in charge of edication in Wales? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

The education reforms in Wales (and similarly in Scotland) have been a disaster and they continue to head in the wrong direction.
Scores in England have held up comparatively well and there has been some significant success, particularly in early reading.
However, if you dig a bit deeper there are some additional factors at play within the English figures, particularly the impact of immigration.
First generation immigrants do pretty much the same as their counterparts, whereas second generation immigrants do significantly better.
It is a fact that higher levels of immigration in England prop up results, both in academic and social measures.
Interestingly, this isn’t mirrored in other European countries, probably because the immigrants coming in are more comfortable with the language (this pattern is reflected in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) and could explain why there is less anti-immigrant sentiment here amongst the young as there is in places like France.
Another rather embarrassing outcome of the results is that the UK sits with Moldova and Mexico in the % of children who do not have enough food. | | | |

Apparently malnutrition causes obesity according to the experts.
Most people don't believe that.
Obesity is caused by eating too much. | |

Obesity or excess fat occurs when too many calories are consumed but not utilised
Sedentary lifestyles , kids in front of a screen with crap to munch on and there you have it
Few if any kids had fat over the waistbands when I was growing up on the 50s
When so was kids ,There was less overproduced , sugar coated , salted food around that they can access .
Far greater poverty then | |

Not misled at all.
It's that there's a high % of obesity and there's also too much food poverty.
Both are possible. | | | |

People eat too much,excercise too little.
Fat is stored within the body especially the stomach | |

I’m not disagreeing about that but we have two separate issues.
We have some of the highest levels of obesity AND we have food poverty comparable to Mexico and Moldova. | | | |

I do not accept the last piece . Sorry.
We have epidemic obesity that sees us killing our future kids .Far greater an issue. We are seeing our kids ageing before our very eyes .
How many ribshowing kids do you see around the streets
Look at any public photographs up to 1960 .it is staggering to see the difference . | |

Blimey.
It’s not a question of accepting it, it’s fact.
The data comes from the PISA report that all the information in the OP comes from. | | | |

Hey, you didn't see very many fat kids in the 60's or 70's. We were always out playing because e didnt have 200 channels, mobile phones and x boxes. We played sport, we rode our bikes, we went swimming and climbed trees.
My youngest son plays football, he's never done the others. it's sad. We tried to get him swimming but to no avail. Not that he's fat. He trains hard and is very lean and fit | | | |

Spot on Cat.
There also wasn’t the access to ultra processed food.
It’s one of the reasons why children can be both obese and also suffer from malnutrition. | | | |

It's the same everywhere, there is extreme wealth AND extreme poverty. Even in the Africas, South Americas and Asia.
It has always been thus, there are have's and have nots. | | | |

I need to photograph members of the public as they go about their business .
Recently,we were in Lidl ( for croissants) and saw a kid aged no more than 10 with a pen ill fitting track suit with a “ beer belly” so significant it was disgusting. Their trolley contained
Pizza,sweets, burgers, chips, and a plethora of processed foods .
Parents also at least 3 stone overweight

All my meals as a child except for the Friday night treat from the chippy were home cooked I agree about being out and about ,15 a side footy down Heol Las Park until it got dark ,walking miles was not an oddity and we cycled everywhere .Swimming in the Tawe in the summer was another activity we were into ,walked to and from Llansamlet secondary from Birchgrove was the norm come rain or shine.
Built like whippets and anyone who was fat really stood out. | |
