BRITISH (UNDERCLASS ?) "TO BE WHIPPED INTO SHAPE"

from the "sunday times - online" :
"For 600 years the underclass has proved resistant to the reforms of their masters, and that won't change, says Lawrence James


Last week's appointment of Caroline Flint as Britain's first "minister for fitness", charged with combating the alarming rise in obesity, is just the latest of the middle class's perennial ?- and doomed ?- attempts to reform the lower orders. Political correctness forbids Flint from admitting her campaign is primarily aimed at the underclass, but the statistics for London tell their own story: the lowest rates are in posh Kensington and Chelsea, while downmarket Barking and Dagenham show the highest. "

so what's going to happen in britain ?
will there be a 'food-police' inspecting the chips being eaten ?
perhaps 'profiling' will be suggested ( Smile ) ; why bother members of the 'higher classes' when the problem seems to be with the 'lower classes' ?
perhaps some of our members from 'the isles' will enlighten us .

btw i have watched chef jamie olivers tv-show when he was visiting cafeteries in british schools - they sure were serving some disgusting food to the kids (but the kids seemed to like it).
