Fat's Fife.

Carnegie reads "FIFE IS home to the most overweight children in Scotland, shock new figures have revealed. More than a quarter of the region’s primary one pupils are classed as overweight, with more than 10% described as obese and 5% classed as severely obese."

We need to do more to make sure our kids are getting enough exercise and physical activity and are educated about healthy eating choices. Clearly, that isn't happening well enough in Fife at the moment. It's one thing for adults to make choices about their lifestyles but children need to be better looked after.

FATT fighters.

The delightfully named Fife Arts and Theatres Trust (FATT) has just appointed the council representatives to its Board which will oversee the initiative and which will reportedly save Fife Council over a million pounds a year by transferring control of Council arts and leisure facilities to the new “independent” trust.

But Carnegie notes one interesting name amongst the Council representatives to the new Trust, namely Labour Councillor Neil Crooks who joined his Labour colleagues after May’s council elections to try and reverse the unanimously endorsed previous decision in early 2007 of Fife Council to proceed with the Trust (a decision taken when at the time Fife Council was LABOUR lead).

Carnegie hopes that Cllr. Crooks finds it easier to bury his opposition to the Trust concept, now that he finds himself in charge of running it.
