Irish families urgently need to change their lifestyles to combat the ticking timebomb of child obesity, President Mary McAleese has said. With one in 10 children classified as obese, President McAleese warned the country was storing up a host of health, social and economic problems. Modern lifestyles may have let shared family meals slip down our list of priorities but now we can see the price being paid by some of our children.
