A healthy balance - Victorians respond to obesity

In October 2002, all Victorians were invited to attend a special two-day forum held by the Victorian Government to address the issue of obesity and in particular the growing problem of child obesity. Citizens and experts came together on a platform of equality to discuss one of Victoria's most serious emerging health problems. They addressed the question:

"What can the people and organisations of Victoria do to promote healthy weight and prevent obesity in childhood?"
