Promoting healthy weight

NSW is part of a global epidemic of obesity. Obesity is a complex problem which is related to technological, social, economic and environmental changes. Promoting healthy weight is a priority in Eat Well NSW: A framework for action for public health nutrition 2003-2007 - PDF (1.5Mb).

The priority of healthy weight is being actioned through our initiatives to address childhood obesity. See the Childhood Obesity site for further information.
