The Welsh valleys, once famous for a proud mining history, steelworks and stunning scenery, has seen thousand of jobs losses since those industries were shuttered. Now it’s facing an even bigger issue - people’s expanding waistlines.
Obesity rates in the south Wales area of Blaenau Gwent are the highest in the country. Four out of five people here are overweight or obese, putting an increasing strain on the health service and making it Britain’s fattest Borough.
TalkTV visits the town with the highest percentage of obese people in the country where some of the takeaways are delivering to the same addresses up to three times a day. We speak to local residents about how this is impacting the town and if there’s anything that can be done to reverse the ever-upwardly increasing scales.

The irony of the guy making the Kebabs being the skinniest one in the video and all his workers being in fairly good shape 😂😂😂

Bless that lady who said she was feeling less lonely and fitter at the exercise class. Community is so important and human contact just as important as eating well and exercising. Keep it up hon. X

When I was younger poor people were always emaciated and thin, now it’s the exact opposite

Have you noticed that the people selling the kebabs are often thin and the people buying them are often fat ? The average weight of a Turkish man is 10kg lower than the average weight of a Welsh man. The documentary here makes out that kebabs are to blame for obesity. It's the over-consumption of sugar. If you're anybody who wants to lose 10kg like i have done, the first step for me as a sugar addict was to stop taking sugar in my tea and coffee. I stopped the consumption of sweet drinks inc. smoothies altogether. They don't mention that here and that so many supermarkets are full of aisles of crap.

I worked as a doctor in Gwent area for a year. I didn’t understand at first how a rural area could have so many hospitals but it became very clear how unhealthy the population is. Even in the hospital, I had a major culture shock ( as someone from south England) that every meal was served with chips, be it on the ward or cafeteria. Curry + rice. And chips. Roast beef + roast potatoes. With CHIPS. No one there thought it was weird? I was the weirdo for not wanting chips with my chilli con carne with rice. Like, help me, why???
Edit: by chips I mean thick cut “fries” imagine chunks of potatoes deep fried in the fish and chips shop.
Edit x2: I would sometimes get charged child bus tickets because I’m a 50kg 5’4 woman. My consultant said the only time people here are slim is when they’re in school so the bus driver didn’t even bother to take a good look. Wild.

We studied cooking at school and home economics, I’m not sure many of these people have much of a handle on either. But one things clear: cooking your own food not just saves you money, it means you’re in control of what’s going into you. I think that’s what’s missing here.

Wow, this looks like the US. And I'm American so no shade. We have a serious obesity problem here. Processed food, everything has sugar and corn syrup.

NOPE. Restaurants aren’t causing anything. If you chose to eat it, it’s on you. Always trying to blame someone else is disgusting

I think a lot of people eat fast food for dopamine. When youve no money and nothing to do, eating food that tastes good and feels like a treat can make you feel temporarily better.

I used to be a delivery driver for a takeaway and the amount of times a week I'd deliver to the same addresses was unreal,one address spent just over £10.000 in one year on kebabs and pizzas!!! A guy in his early twenties was on the verge of selling his house because he couldn't afford the mortgage payments,I told him to stop buying takeaways so often and you'll be fine,thankfully he took my advice on board and was able to keep his house. The majority of deliveries were to those on benefits,the government should give vouchers instead of cash,that would help a lot of them learn to cook and feed their children better food,I'd hope?!

The thing is, a good kebab is not necessarily unhealthy at all, but three times a day, with a ton of chips of course? Yeah.

It can be very challenging to get over addictions to sugar and processed foods, but eventually what used to be a challenge becomes a preference. Once your body gets accustomed to feeling healthier, the cravings for unhealthy and processed foods start to diminish.

Being unemployed, helped with my diet. No money. No food. Went from 230+ lb to 190.

If there's no employment in the area, how can they afford to eat takeaway kebabs every day?
