Do we need to be more upfront about the dangers of obesity?

Also on the show: Olympic legends Torvill and Dean tell us which celebrities are skating on thin ice, why break-up songs are good for our wellbeing and the rise of home swapping.

PHONE-IN: 
The chair of the Food Standards Agency has warned that bringing cake into the office should be seen as harmful to your colleagues in the same way as passive smoking.  Professor Susan Jebb has urged doctors to be more willing to bring up the topic of patient’s weight and ignore diet help.  She says it is bad for the nation’s health that medics “mostly ignore it”.
She told the Times the advertising of junk food is “undermining people’s free will”.
Do we need a shift in our culture?
