LONDON, January 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr Judith Bryans, Director of The Dairy Council said: "We are pleased to see that the government report on obesity released today highlighted both food and physical activity. Very often the physical activity aspect of obesity is ignored, but in order to adequately address the issue of obesity both aspects must be given equal importance. Although food is part of the equation, we must be careful to ensure that the public is educated about portion sizes and the importance of eating from all of the food groups, including dairy, in order to stay healthy as well as achieve and maintain a healthy weight."
