Obesity Awareness: Public Service or Public Nuisance?

New obesity awareness campaign from a Swedish foundation featuring physicist Stephen Hawking has attracted criticism as it is too focused on diet and exercise. Critics claim that the campaign lacks awareness of the complexity of obesity and the need for evidence-based solutions that actually work.

Tired advice to eat less and move more has been tried by virtually everyone who has struggled with excess weight. More often than not, it doesn’t cure the complex, chronic disease of obesity.
