Boris Johnson orders GPs to be brutally honest with patients about their weight
DOCTORS are under orders to be brutally frank and tell overweight patients “You’re fat!” as part of a new anti-obesity drive.
PM Boris Johnson launches the Better Health campaign targeting 35million too-heavy Brits, and Health Secretary Matt Hancock says GPs must be “direct” to get the nation fit and ease NHS pressures.
A 9pm watershed for telly junk food ads is also planned while restaurants and takeaways will have to publish calorie counts.
