When Katie Mulligan baked a beetroot cake for her colleagues at a London advertising agency, she was focused on getting the recipe right rather than whether it was acceptable to bring treats into the office.

The United States ranked highest in the world for obesity levels with 43%, the report added citing OECD Health Statistics, while Britain as a whole, not just England, was at 28%.

Obesity is costing Britain's National Health Service and the wider society something like 60 billion pounds a year, she said."I reckon we're about in the 60s' equivalent of sugar and diet-related ill health compared to smoking. So we've got a long way to go," she said.

We have a corrupt government of Conservatives robbing us blind, give us a break. A little cake won’t kill us but the Tories will.

Ha! If someone bakes a cake, & then brings it to work to enjoy with her/his co workers, that is not promoting unhealthy food choices. We have the choice of eating the cake or not. No one is forcing us to eat the cake!

Let them eat cake! If they want to!

Where would we all be without government officials? Better off!

Britain?

Good
