increasing imbalance is more complex. The startling rise is obesity in the last twenty years has been caused by trends as diverse as:
• an increased consumption of energy-dense fast foods, meals taken outside the home, and snacking
• increased portion sizes
• increased consumption of soft drinks
• increased television and computer use
• decline in active commuting and walking/cycling generally
• decline in physically demanding work with the shift from manufacturing to office work
• less unsupervised play outside by children
• less outside activity by both adults and children, due to perceptions of declining personal safety
• increased traffic and priority given to cars in planning towns and street environments.
Any attempts to tackle obesity must therefore address the obesogenic environment that encourages excess calorie intake and minimal physical activity, as well as the behaviours and choices of individuals. These factors can also differentially affect those living in more deprived communities, thereby contributing to health inequalities. This obesity strategy will require the involvement of a range of partners, including transport, planning, community safety, education and children’s services from local government services and the voluntary sector, as well as the health service.
