I WONDER if Tavistock is typical of other towns in Britain? I hope not, for what is seen here is a high proportion of overweight and obese people. Is this a result of snacking on the hoof, and not sitting down to meals at regular times, and lack of daily exercise? It is noticed also that children are often taken to and collected from school by car. Apart from the waster of fuel, what about the pollution factor? So, people of Tavistock, get walking and get that weight down! Peter Castle 2 Holly Bank Whitchurch
