New UK health chief deliberately ignores men's health

Article here. In a classic it's-only-a-problem-if-it-affects-women example of nymphotropism, the UK health chief declares obesity in women to be more dangerous to the UK than terrorism while deliberately ignoring it in men, who have a worse problem with it than women. Typical. Excerpt:

'Obesity poses as big a risk to the nation as terrorism, says the Chief Medical Officer.

Dame Sally Davies wants the obesity crisis in women to be classed alongside flooding and major outbreaks of disease – as well as the threat from violent extremism. 

Her extraordinary claim comes as she warns today that being overweight affects all stages of women’s lives – including in the womb.

It may lead them to being teased as teenagers, having higher-risk pregnancies and possibly developing breast cancer or heart disease after the menopause.

‘Action is required across all of society to prevent obesity and its associated problems from shortening women’s lives and affecting their quality of life,’ she will say.
...
Obesity rates are actually higher in men – 72 per cent of those aged 35 to 44 are at least overweight rising to 80 per cent of the over 45s.'
