It's got nothing to do with public health, and everything to do with shifting blame for the UK's high COVID death rate away from govt incompetence.
Yes, I was wondering that, GPs up and down the land must be so pleased on hearing the announcement. I presume the bikes will be dispensed at the pharmacy, two to be taken with foodHow does a doc prescribe cycling?
Do I get a free bike?

Don't you need to be fairly well-off to eat healthily these days?

The timing of the announcement is a bit suspicious though, isn't it?Not just obesity/covid that is the issue though.
What excuse did Labour use for the >20,000 Influenza deaths in 1999/2000 ?
You don't think all politicians are essentially the same, just under a different coloured flag ?
The Tories are useless, I guess most of us agree on that one by now.The Tories will do anything to weasel out of their responsibility for all of that. Picking on obesity is an easy thing for them to do to divert attention from their own culpability and incompetence.
What are you basing your comment on? Probably sensible to establish what you regard as healthy eating?
I think it is easy to eat healthy these days.
There are many factors I think.
People thinking they are 'time-poor,' and therefore buying processed or fast food, this is a common media pushed excuse.
Also, people are lazy and cannot be bothered to cook.
Parents haven't taught their kids how to cook (shameful)
Kids who get spoiled by their parents. "Our Henry will not eat vegetables, he will only eat chicken nuggets..."
(Probably more obvious comments, but I am on a mission)
I was thinking along the lines of your first point. How to save money and alleviate the burden on the NHS even if it pisses off the food manufacturers.They will be very worried about stress on NHS with Covid, cancer etc. and where to make savings.It’s a key focus on the Public rather than themselves, quite rightly. ,though there’s likely method here.This will be a strategy as they progress. Minimising hospital visits will be key. They will also work that extended stays at home since Covid will likely cause greater obesity as people eat more, drink more and exercise less.was always going to be a problem. I’m fortunate as a very physical temporary job these last two months have led to a weight loss of 10kg or so taking me much nearer to my BMI.
