Public Transport – Level 3
Professor Davies reported that there are twice as many overweight schoolchildren today as there were 30 years ago. She said: “Today’s children are drowning in a flood of unhealthy food and drink options.” She said this is made worse because of “insufficient opportunities for being active”. She said children do not get enough exercise. She added: “We must go further and faster.” Ms Davies also wants to stop fast food being sold at soccer games. Many travelers are angry about the plans. A nurse, Nicky Paxton, said the transport ban would make her life worse. She said: “I often work 12 hours without a break and I need a sandwich on the train on my way home from work.”
