OPTIONAL READING Read the text and answer the questions that follow.

HEALTHY TOWNS
I The number of overweight children is continuing to grow in western countries, and new ways of dealing with obese
children are badly needed. Today, England has got the fattest population in Europe. The UK health secretary Alan
Johnson believes that obesity is one of the greatest challenges facing Britain today. Health experts are sure that only a
long-term change in lifestyle will help people control their weight.
II Obesity is presently costing the UK 1 billion a year due to medical expenses for treating illnesses that are connected to
obesity, and officials predict that this amount will reach 45 billion by 2050. They estimate that by then, 25% of children
in the UK will be obese.
III England wants 10 eco-friendly towns to become healthy, or fit, towns. The town design and the facilities offered to the
public would promote a healthy lifestyle. The idea is that physical activity would be a part of everyday life. Many cycle
lanes and safe walking routes would be built so people wouldnt have to drive to schools and the town centre. Larger
parks, modern play areas and sport centres would be planned. School programmes would teach children how to prepare
healthy food. If the plan succeeds, towns which already exist could be redesigned.
IV International research shows that fighting obesity successfully requires the involvement of the whole community. In
France, the entire population of several towns focused on childrens health for a period of five years. Parents, teachers,
doctors, local food businesses and sports associations were all involved. At the end of the five years, there was a
significant drop in the levels of child obesity. The British government hopes this model will succeed in the UK, too.
