NHS to show parents how fat their child will become under 'shock tactics' to fight obesity The NHS is to use shock tactics in an attempt to scare parents into tackling their child’s looming obesity.
Parents will be shown 3D models showing just how overweight their child is set to become by the time they reach adulthood.
Trials involving almost 3,000 children have found that the forecasts terrified families into taking action. In the pilot schemes, parents of children aged five and six were asked to key in their child’s measurements.
They were then asked to watch a series of 3D graphics, showing a child their own age, digitally manipulated to look underweight, normal, overweight or obese. The Daily Telegraph
