    Oct 17 2020
    Plenty of people had plenty to say this past week about National Party leader Judith Collins' comments about obesity.

And there are some stark new facts about that in a new global study which has found Kiwis are living longer - but spending more years in poor health. Valery Feigin, Professor of Epidemiology at the AUT's School of Public Health joins Colin Peacock to discuss why this report should be taken seriously.
