I doubt there's the tiniest bit of evidence that it changes behaviour, especially as the fat kids aren't offered free after school sports or the schools are any fucking use in helping kids be more active at lunch time, and in the case of the junior school my kids went to, seemed to wash their hands of any ideas about helping kids get to school using active travel. They tried to impose a helmet rule for kids on scooters, sent emails all the time about stranger danger, didn't give a shit about parents parking on the footpath outside school, etc. They did go through kids' lunch boxes though...

I should move somewhere else, really. Cambridge is exceptionally bad for that sort of behaviour.

I admire the optimism of the woman walking into ToysRUs saying to three primary school children, "Five minutes only".
