Abstract
This chapter concludes with a summary of the various perspectives that contributed to the ways in which the obesity problem was defined over time. This chapter also describes the action-oriented responses by public health practitioners and policymakers, the shortcomings associated with each response and how this hindered potential progress in reversing the obesity crisis. A new model to redefine this epidemic is proposed and provides greater accountability to the macro level forces that impede progressive movements. These forces can potentially reverse the trajectory of this epidemic.
