If obesity has reached epidemic proportions why do TV stations show cook programmes all day long?

cheap to make tv and prevents having to show the masses some real life happenings

I think you just misunderstood the government. The government wants to stop or minimize you from eating unhealthy foods but do encourage healthy eating life style. The reason why they encourage food or cook program is to inform its citizens on how to cook easy but healthy foods. The only thing I dislike from those movies is that endorsement of food seasonings or chemicals cannot be eliminated. Doing so will decrease their profit.

If BBC and other channels lure people or viewers into foods which contain high enough fats or cholesterol to have bad effects, then it must be questioned or stopped by the government's branches like Food and Drug Authority.

Its an opportunity for tv channels to rake in cash by hosting older tv celebrities that can't make the premier channels, but still have value on something like a cooking show. Rest assured all the recipies are hand fed to the celebrities, and in reality they dont know a damn thing about cooking.

E-a million, E-2 etc via E-9. then you have WO-a million, WO-2 and WO-3. After that, you've O-a million, O-2 etc via O-10. Now, in case you favor to understand what those skill, it ought to remember on the dep. of service you're speaking about. interior the Air stress, you've Airman common, Airman, Airman firstclass, Sergeant, crew Sergeant, Technical Sergeant, carry close Sergeant, Senior carry close Sergeant, and finally chief carry close Sergeant. Then the WO's or warrant officials, yet there are not any interior the Air stress, became, yet no longer any further. The for officials, you've second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain, major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier usual, major usual, Lieutenant usual, and finally usual. each and every branch of the protection stress has their own names for each paygrade, notwithstanding the paygrades are all a similar.

I would say they know there is mass unemployment and worklessnes allacross the UK,they reckon at least 10 million people of working age are economically inactive, they have to entertain them and teach them essential skills such as cooking healthy foods from scratch,obviously these people prefer Farmfoods and Macki D's to the pleasure of buying,preparing, cooking and eating your own wholesome healthy meals by themselves.

You should want as many people as possible to become obese. If you are fit it will automatically make you stand out among them. Think about it. If your an employer are you going to hire the fat person or the fit person if they both have similar credentials. I have already explained to my daughter that if you are always fit you will be superior to the lazy majority in the world who gorge themselves with crap all day. Just being fit gives her major advantages in life. So I hope the obesity level continues to rise.

Because people like the cooking shows. If a program is popular, it sells advertising and it's on the air. They won't drop a shop just because there are too many irresponsible fatties!

If someone is fat, it's their fault - not the programs!

LOL

Cooking Shows show people how to cook food instead of opening a package of Pretend food consisting of a chemical cocktail

Cons really do not get it?

Our food is corrupt and there is little nutrition in it. Anti Freeze in salad dressing? Make your own dressing...ect

the problem is unhealthy food like burgers and chips is easy to cook just shuve in the oven wilst healthyer food you need to cook i think bbc showing more tv of how to cook in an effort to encorage people cook food rather than go for the lazy unhealthy food.

At least they are promoting sort of healthy food. My girlfriend had that 'Man-vs-Food' programme on Dave on the other day and I just wanted to pig out!
