As a nation we still have to take some serious and drastic action. There is no value in producing reports that look good on paper but cannot realistically be achieved.

⏳ 1 week to go until World Obesity Day ⭕

Childhood obesity is rising fast - and behind the statistics are real children whose health and futures are shaped by the environments around them.

‼️ Children don’t choose the systems they grow up in. That’s why action on obesity means creating healthier food environments, stronger health systems, and communities that support wellbeing.

This , we’re acting for the next generation. Because there are to act on obesity.

100% agree!

💡Obesity is shaped by systems, not willpower.

The global rise in obesity isn’t happening in isolation - it’s driven by the systems around us.

🩺 Health systems that don’t always provide accessible, stigma-free care
🍔 Food environments where unhealthy options are cheap and widely marketed
🏙️ Communities and spaces that don’t always support healthy living

Real progress means changing these systems - together.

Because addressing obesity isn’t just about individuals. It’s about creating environments, policies and services that support health for everyone.
