The new anti-obesity push will see children in England use their times tables to work out how much sugar is in their food

Primary school children will be taught how to count sugar cubes as part of the government's anti-obesity push.

English and maths lessons will include anti-sugar messages in an attempt by health bosses to improve children's diets.

Children will use their times tables to work out how much sugar is in a bowl or cereal or a can of fizzy pop and will then see if it is more than the recommended daily allowance (RDA) in new worksheets provided by Public Health England.

They will also be asked to find 'swaps' for healthier food and drink items.

New exercises for English lessons include writing a persuasive letter arguing against consuming too much sugar.

Traditionally the message of cutting sugar intake has been confined to personal, social and health edu-cation lessons – this is the first time PHE has used English and maths to educate children about their diets.

The voluntary worksheets have been welcomed by teachers but critics expressed concern about 'fear-mongering'

Around one in three children leave primary school overweight or obese with severe obesity hitting record levels among year 6 students, aged ten and 11.

Traditionally the message of cutting sugar would only be taught in PHE- now it is being expanded to other subjects

Maths worksheets offered by PHE ask children to count sugar cubes and convert them into grams of sugar, as well as working out what consumption adds up to over weeks, months and years reports the Times.

In English classes the PHE's proposed work schemes children are asked to draw a comic saying that people should swap out sugar-laden foods for lighter alternatives.

Other activities include designing a 'sugar swap' poster or writing a letter arguing people persuading people to consume less sugar where children should use 'facts to make your persuasive letter strong-er', with the sheet containing a list of PHE-approved facts.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
