These experts, led by a London based academic, says governments should adopt more sophisticated approaches to obesity. Work conditions, food subsidies, town planning and advert restrictions are all key according to the experts. Latest statistics show that a quarter of adults are obese in the UK, but the percentage is predicted to rise to over 50% if current trends continue. They are epidemic in the United States, as well, and that includes children.
