OUR INABILITY TO TELL IT HOW IT IS

I see that Judith Collins has taken some stick for comments she made suggesting that obesity was part due to personal choices.
Yes, genetics plays a hard but so does a diet comprising mainly junk food coupled with an aversion to proper exercise.
I admit to struggling with my weight over the years. I acknowledge I’m a bit of a Falstaffian character when it come to food and drink. I try to compensate that with a 20k daily workout on my Exercycle (listening to Concert FM).
Judith is right but, in this pc world, you’re wrong even if you’re right. It’s always someone else’s fault.
