Presenters
FrameWorks UK with Public Health Scotland.

But when people think about obesity, it’s too often seen as an issue of lack of willpower. And the only solution that it leads people to think about is better education about food and exercise.
We need to tell a new story which shows how what surrounds us, shapes us. And helps to build support for the wider changes needed that will enable all of us to thrive and be healthy.
