The Hard Shoulder Highlights

Should we be worried about overweight children?

The Green Party's deputy leader, Róisín Garvey, is calling out what she describes as "insane" habits around children's transportation, such as kids being driven to school from just across the street. According to Garvey, this car dependency is contributing to a rising number of overweight children, with a quarter of those under nine now overweight. Joining Kieran to discuss this is Grace O’Malley, Clinical Lead, CHI Child & Adolescent Obesity Service.
