Doncaster Health – Changing the Habits of a Community
When it comes to obesity, Doncaster is a community in crisis. The town has one of the highest levels of obesity in the country. Unless people can be persuaded to change their eating and lifestyle habits, the great people of Doncaster are going to become a blighted community. It’s not something they deserve.
Obesity eats into the soul of a community. It disables people both mentally and physically and creates an almost insurmountable problem for healthcare providers. The fact that obesity is socially contagious means that the problem is going to get worse. No community has the manpower or the resources to do anything about it using current methods.
So what’s the answer? There is only one possible answer and that is that the community has to change. It has to change its behaviour. The catalyst for that change must be the community itself. How does it change? By learning new eating and lifestyle habits – slim habits. The drivers of change? They have to be groups within the community, ‘slimpals’, if you like, who set the example. If obesity’s socially contagious, there is no reason why being slim can’t be contagious too! Correctly managed and given the right publicity and resources, the spirit of change could catch on very easily.
Doncaster has recently attracted publicity from ITV News who are featuring the town in its series of news specials on obesity. This is a golden opportunity to get people focused on change, on making a lasting difference to their lives. How great would it be if Doncaster were to become the slimmest, fittest community in the land!
