Obesity and coronavirus: where next for policy?

Obesity and coronavirus: where next for policy? This report explores what the data tell us about obesity, the current policy landscape and the likely effectiveness of policies announced to date in the government’s obesity strategy. It draws on desk research and data analysis, as well as a nationally representative survey from Opinium, commissioned as part of this study. It finds that the government's appeal to Britons to slim down in response to Covid-19 have not helped most people living with obesity to lose weight. Social Market Foundation
