SOCIAL MEDIA EXAMPLES

For too long, responses to the obesity crisis have been focussed on individuals. It’s time we turn our attention to the systems that are failing us. Together, people working in government and health—working with advocates and the public—can transform our systems to help better manage and prevent obesity.
