What a joke this is TMO giving advice about NCD's. Ever been to a workshop run by TMO, No? Well you are in for a surprise or maybe you're not? Look around at the number of TMO people in attendance, the number taking the workshop, yep you said it, obesity is rampant at the TMO. The very same hypocrites giving NCD advice are the same scoffing themselves and gorging on the food on offer. I've seen it constantly, and it amuses me to think that we pay these people to give us professional advice when they are not qualified by action or appearance. Oh yes and you will note the PC brigade have invented a new language to describe body shape, they are now called 'Big' what a comedy show. My advice to TMO if you really want to get some traction in your message. for what it's worth, clean up your own back yard of obesity before you start preaching healthy living and wellness.
