THREE: Fat Chances Conference - Strategies to Reduce the Threat
of Obesity
The recent Health Select Committee Report on Obesity has challenged
the current and future Governments to develop a coherent, effective
strategy to address this 'epidemic'. The report calls for a fundamental
review of food and health policies and a genuine joint approach
across the public services, and paints an alarming picture. It
details specific concerns about obesity and the potentially disastrous
impact on services, including:
-
childhood
obesity has tripled in 20 years
-
healthy
eating messages are being drowned out by the advertising from
food companies
-
only
a third of men and a quarter of women meet basic physical
exercise targets
-
treatment
by the NHS has been given too low a priority
-
the
cost to the NHS is £7bn a year, and rising.
So,
how can these trends be reversed? How can we move from analysis
to effective action? Whose responsibility is it - the 'nanny state',
the food industry, the NHS or parents and children themselves?
By bringing together contributors who have been developing positive
solutions in different parts of the UK, this conference will help
participants to develop local solutions
to this national challenge.
Aims of the conference
-
To
identify policy solutions and strategic developments that
enable local communities and public services to take
the obesity epidemic seriously
-
To
offer joined-up thinking to support joint working to reduce
the costs of obesity
-
To
promote positive action nationally in relation to food policy
and its impact on healthy living, especially for disadvantaged
communities
Key themes
-
Food
policy, health, diet and exercise
-
Impact
of obesity and local health services
-
Improving
food choices: the roles of Government, industry and local
