The Campaign to End Obesity — representing concerned leaders from industry, academia, public health and associations — encourages federal policies to reverse the obesity epidemic and improve Americans’ health.
Much can be done to reverse the epidemic, yet important opportunities to tackle obesity at the national policy level — including changes that enable more Americans to eat healthy and be active, as well as those that provide appropriate medical treatment for patients — have gone largely unmet. The Campaign works to fill this gap.
By bringing together leaders from across industry, academia and public health with policymakers and their advisors, the Campaign provides the information and guidance that decision-makers need to make policy changes that will reverse one of the nation’s costliest and most prevalent diseases.
