BHF launches the Yoobot to tackle childhood obesity
In it's fourth year, our
Food4Thought initiative and its innovative new
online game – the Yoobot - aims
to help children to make informed and healthier food
choices.
The majority of Britain’s youngsters are unaware of the
devastating effects eating junk food can have, according to a BHF
survey. It foud that seven out of ten children (73%) were
unaware that a shortened life was the worst consequence of eating
badly.
Nearly half (45%) of all eight to 15-year-olds thought the most
dangerous side effects of eating junk food were to make them put on
weight, cause their teeth to rot, give them spots or make them
unpopular.

The two-minute film, starring the critically
acclaimed actor Steven Berkoff, was created to
raise awareness of heart attack symptoms, and to dispel the
commonly held myths of the ‘Hollywood’ heart attack.
