Brits Know They're Fat, But Choose Easy Diet Pills Over the Gym

A recent Brit poll found that more than half of Britain's population admit to being overweight. That, however, does not mean they are going to hit the gym.

The survey conducted for the British Society of Gastroenterology saw every one person in five admitting to binge eating.

Also, 15 percent said they would choose to take diet pills than work out.

"Obesity is an issue that needs tackling," the Daily Star quoted society president, Prof Chris Hawkey, as saying.
