Counting the cost

The National Obesity Observatory has published a report on the economic burden of obesity, surveying research done since the publication of the Foresight report in 2007.
A recent survey from the OECD also considers economic issues:
Obesity and the economics of prevention examines the role of markets and governments in tackling obesity, as well as considering which interventions work. There’s a special focus also on regulating food advertising. Latest briefings from the National Obesity Observatory provide data on adult and child obesity, linked to socioeconomic status.
