“Now is the time to codify that agenda in a rights framework to ensure action and accountability.” Couldn't have said it better ourselves @kentbuse! Check out the work of @TheLancet commission on #obesity here, one year on: worldobesity.org/what-we-do/pro… #GlobalSyndemic



Commission's report is a landmark in connecting dots between nutrition, diets, food systems & planet- thanks to @TheLancet @WorldObesity @BoydSwinburn & commissioners. Policymakers must act on recommendations and #humanrights guidance could compel them to do so. @johanna_ralston
