It’s been 10 years since the World Health Organization issued its
landmark report, “Obesity: Preventing and Managing the Global
Epidemic.” In this call to action, the WHO urged for immediate
responses to combat the growing epidemic. Twenty-five leading
authorities paid particular attention to prevention strategies that
address the many environmental and societal forces which enable
unhealthy behaviors among the entire society. Obesity was named as
“today’s principal neglected public health problem” and concludes that
“public health action is urgently required.”
