This is an outstanding, must-read article from Spiegel. It reports that the Finnish city Seinäjoki has successfully tackled the problem of obesity in children with a program emphasizing physical fitness and better nutrition in schools. The article questions whether the lessons learned here also be applied in Germany and elsewhere in the world.
