Appoint an obesity champion or tsar
Appoint a government obesity champion to drive a coordinated obesity strategy between and across central government departments which include Health, the Treasury, Sport, Education, Agriculture, the Department of Work and Pensions, and local government for the local environment. This person should have a strong but politically independent status (e.g. a member of the House of Lords) with the skills and authority to address issues which need multiple government departmental involvement.
