McKinsey Global Institute

The MGI discussion paper, Overcoming obesity: An initial economic analysis studied studied 74 interventions (in 18 areas) that are being discussed or piloted somewhere around the world to address obesity, including subsidized school meals for all, calorie and nutrition labeling, restrictions on advertising high-calorie food and drinks, and public-health campaigns – with sufficient data found on 44 of the interventions in 16 areas.

  • 44 interventions bring 20% of overweight / obese Britons back to a normal weight​.
  • A range of sectors is required to deliver impact.​
  • All interventions are cost-effective for society.​
  •  A portfolio of interventions could deliver a £25bn benefit.
