The obesity culture : strategies for change. Public health and university-community partnerships
Johnston I Harkavy £25 978-1-85463-225-8
The authors describe obesity as a complex problem. As such they insist on the diverse conditions that form ‘The obesity culture’. Good methods of research and a central role for education and community participation may best meet the public health challenge.

Money alone and prescriptive solutions clearly do not work.
