Politicians lacking the political will to combat obesity (as they are unwilling to upset the fat masses) seem to cling onto nudge theory as the only solution. Funny that.

In a nutshell, ahem, it's exactly as the name suggests. It's supposed to nudge the populace into healthier choices.

From what I can tell it has lead to a mild exercise campaign in thisgirlcan, cartoon ads to reduce sugar alongside a monitoring app and not much else of note.

It feels like it's applying a 'soft parenting' approach to governance.
