New fast food restaurants open in ‘obesity capital’ Gosport

[Northerner]

THE council of a borough with one of the highest obesity rates in the UK says it is doing all it can to promote healthy living – despite the opening of another fast food restaurant.

In Gosport, 72 per cent of people are considered overweight or obese, with a Body Mass Index level of more than 25.

It makes it the sixth fattest authority in England.

But despite these high levels, a drive-through KFC has recently opened in Fareham Road and a McDonald’s is proposed in Brockhurst Gate.

Gosport Borough Council said that although it understands concerns over the fast food firms, there is only so much it could do to reduce obesity levels.

I've only had two meals in Gosport - one when the company yacht used to be moored at Camper & Nicholson's - an excellent Cantonese - and the other an equally good Indian when a gang of us had a week in a static caravan at a site at North Boarhunt!
