I might have to move to Hull to loose weight, we could just be 'big boned' in East Yorkshire....

Am I missing something? Is it not shocking that at best, nearly half the population are overweight?

Jeez, according to that list Bexley is only 66.1%. That means that on a normal Saturday morning, there's a hell of a lot of skinny people hiding under their stairs.
Using a meaningless measure.
Swindon 70.4%, no surprise.
They had a body image campaigner on BBC breakfast this morning, the first thing she stated was fat people try really hard not to be fat
.
Did not help her case that she was morbidly obese, not the sort of body image that should be promoted as a good choice.

Yes and no, not getting into that, but walk through any town or city at the weekend and overweight people appear to dominate. I would be interested to see how the data was collected.
I am a somewhat largish person and have lots of problems buying decent clothing to fit. When you look at XXXL and it comes up at 48" chest in some shops I just give up. I have often asked why the store buyers don't just stand outside their stores for an hour and actually observe the people walking past and take notice that we are not all skinny.

It is really silly to set the benchmark at bmi of 25 and then show pics of obese people. It is just a silly story that shows what you can do with statistics.
My BMI is just over 25 and I am not at all fat (I am 5'9" and weigh 12 stone 4lbs) and do everything right (Keep my weight down, eat healthy food and exercise about 5 times a week) . But taking the report figures I am one of the fatties that has a problem.
