Call You and Yours: Did you struggle with your weight as a teenager?

Consumer phone-in. What might tackle the problem of obese teenagers and how do we handle the youngsters who have this problem?

It doesn't look to be connected to the weight of their parents for example and the implication is that it needs to be tackled in new and different ways.
