"The volume achieves its goal quite well. A focus on childhood, when much of obesity originates, is an appropriate target for the United Kingdom as well as for the rest of the world. The list of comorbidities, the complex world that has led to the blossoming of the problem, and the lack of efficacy of most treatments lead to the inexorable conclusion that prevention is the best approach on a population-wide basis. Some countries have accepted this tenant more vigorously than others. This volume, in company with many other works, surely supports such an approach."
