  • Summary

  • Plenty of people had plenty to say this past week about National Party leader Judith Collins' comments about obesity. (She said it was not an 'epidemic' because it's not catching - and 'personal responsibility' should be the main means of addressing the problem. ) Perhaps it's no surprise that was controversial in the white heat of an election campaign - But at the heart of the matter is the growing burden of preventable illness. And there are some stark new facts about that in a new global study which has found Kiwis are living longer - but spending more years in poor health. Valery Feigin, Professor of Epidemiology at the AUT's School of Public Health joins Colin Peacock to discuss why this report should be taken seriously.
