We really need to take up the obesity fight

Australia is considered one of the world's fattest nations, with 17 million of us either overweight or obese.

It's been called the "Global Obesity Epidemic" and the most serious health issue to face the developing world.

I recently came across the McDonald's "loose change menu" featuring several unhealthy snacks for under $2 with the exception of a garden salad.

What's that we're fighting obesity? It seems to me more like a civilised quarrel.
