Olympic obesity

More evidence for Richard Williams’ claim (Why the London Olympics were a gigantic waste of time and money, 22 July) was on show in the Olympic Arena at the Anniversary Games on Saturday. I watched streams of hot dogs, huge tubs of popcorn and vast quantities of chemically coloured green and orange drinks, cola and beer being consumed by the most obese crowd I’ve ever seen. The least fit cheered at the slightest glimpse of Jessica Ennis-Hill, Katarina Johnson-Thomson and Mo Farah. It is ludicrous that a place where supreme fitness is celebrated should sell exclusively unhealthy foods.
