Report: Czechs eating more healthy food, but eating too much

Scientific studies quoted in the Czech newspaper Mladá Fronta Dnes suggest that Czechs are increasingly eating more healthy foods, but are nonetheless still eating too much. Specifically, studies by the Health Nutrition Forum suggest that Czechs are increasingly turning away traditional foods such as fatty sausages in favor of more fruit and vegetables. Yet, the study also finds that around seventy percent of adult Czechs and one in five Czech children are overweight. The main causes for this obesity are reportedly low activity and excessive food and also beer consumption.
